Goodman Group

Chairman's letter

Goodman delivered another very strong result in 2021 during 
an extremely challenging period. The Group’s focus was on 
remaining agile, embracing opportunities and making positive 
changes to the business. We redesigned how our teams work 
to prioritise our people’s safety and wellbeing in the short term 
and enable greater diversity in the longer term. We accelerated 
our environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, and 
we met the demands of an escalating digital economy.

Success in such conditions was only possible due to the 
Group’s strategy, executed consistently by our strong local 
leadership teams in global markets, and galvanised with one 
culture. Goodman’s business strategy is fit for purpose and 
comprehensive. It is designed for the long term, with our 
property investment strategy, environmental and sustainability 
targets and remuneration aligned to provide profitable and 
sustainable outcomes well into the future. 

The right balance and focus

I believe one of Goodman’s greatest strengths lies in our 
ability to balance our entrepreneurial spirit, which remains 
undiminished, with the attention to detail required for 
compliance and risk management, which is fundamental to 
running a major ASX-listed company whose global operations 
span 14 countries. Aiding this balance is the Group’s 
remuneration strategy, which provides for all of our people 
globally to be owners in the business, fostering an innovative 
culture as well as creating a loyal and experienced team which 
remains engaged and committed.

While the approach of investing in high quality locations has 
been at the heart of Goodman’s strategy, it has been refined 
over time to adapt to a changing world. For example, in recent 
years, our asset sale program has allowed us to focus on infill 
markets which can lead to higher intensification of use and a 
greater focus on sustainability. Customer demand outweighs 
supply for these properties, driven by consumers’ growing 
expectation to have goods delivered quickly. The pandemic 
saw significant growth in e-commerce penetration in all of our 
markets and further accelerated this demand.

Strong and sustainable 

A strong balance sheet to secure financial sustainability 
remains central to the Group’s strategy. Low gearing levels 
and strong liquidity give Goodman the ability to seize quality 
opportunities as they arise, as well as providing a safeguard 
during turbulent periods. The Group’s strong relationship with 
our international Investment Partners, some of the world’s 
largest pension and sovereign funds that co-invest with 
Goodman globally, further strengthens our financial capability. 
Within these Partnerships, we currently have $18.1 billion of 
liquidity available for future investments in the form of equity 
commitments, cash and undrawn debt. The strategy has 
been critical, given the properties we seek to acquire are both 
scarce and highly valuable.

Goodman’s long-term view impacts all areas of the business 
and is key to our success. Our focus on infill markets 
increases the scale and complexity of projects, which leads to 
significantly longer development timeframes, often exceeding 
five years. This is in addition to the time needed to achieve 
the best urban regeneration outcomes at infill sites. Similarly, 
our ever-increasing focus on environmental and sustainability 
goals, which we expect will take five to 10 years to implement 
and which will, in all likelihood, keep evolving over time, is 
aligned with long-term financial sustainability. 

The 10-year plan

Given the long-term nature of Goodman’s approach to  
real estate investment, the Board has introduced a new  
Long Term Incentive Plan for the senior leadership team  
to provide even greater alignment with securityholders.  
The new 10-year plan will see the testing and vesting periods 
for the senior leadership team extended to four and 10 years, 
respectively, with the existing plan’s three and five year 
periods remaining in place for all other employees. 

The new plan will position the Group with a market leading 
remuneration structure which will help to retain key people 
in a competitive labour market. It will support our objective 
to influence our people’s long-term decision making and 
will incorporate environmental and sustainability targets in 
assessing our operational performance.

The Goodman Board 

Our long serving Chairman, Mr Ian Ferrier, retired from the 
Board at last year’s AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like 
to thank him for his outstanding service to Goodman over his 
17-year tenure on the Board and, in particular, his leadership 
during his 12 years as Chairman of the Board.

At this year’s AGM, Independent Directors, Ms Rebecca 
McGrath and Mr David Collins, together with Executive 
Director, Mr Danny Peeters, will be standing for re-election. 
Ms Penny Winn has decided not to stand for re-election this 
year and will retire from the Board at the conclusion of this 
year’s AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my 
gratitude to Penny for her valuable contribution.

Goodman seeks to maintain a diverse Board with 
the appropriate mix of skills, gender and geographic 
representation, which will continue to be supported through 
future appointments. Our focus specifically will be on meeting 
our target of 40% representation for female Board members 
and additionally, in view of the global nature of Goodman, we 
will be seeking to appoint an internationally based director 
with the appropriate skill base during the course of the current 
financial year.

Goodman’s straightforward and transparent culture invites 
the Board to have a constructive and open dialogue with 
management. This enables directors to add value in their 
deliberations with management, particularly in setting the 
Group’s long-term growth strategy. 

Many thanks

Goodman’s strong performance in 2021 was made possible 
by the strength of our global leadership and teams around the 
world. On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our people for 
their commitment and determination in achieving this result. 
I also extend my gratitude to all of our stakeholders for their 
ongoing support and the Board for their valuable contribution. 

Sincerely

Stephen Johns 
Independent Chairman

Group CEO's letter

Future ready

We knew this year would bring changes, and we were well-
prepared for it. Our strong financial performance is the result of 
our long-term consumer-centric approach to growth. In the area 
of sustainability, we exceeded our own targets by reaching our 
2025 goal of carbon neutrality four years ahead of schedule. 
We’ve been making progressive choices early on and executed 
them well which is putting us in good stead for the future.

The breadth of Goodman’s portfolio gives us valuable insights 
across geographies. Globally, we saw evidence that our 
consumer-centric approach to growth in targeted locations 
was meeting our customers’ requirements for faster speed 
to market. Meanwhile, our properties continued to provide 
opportunities for automation and for higher utilisation of space 
to allow for greater supply chain efficiency.

In 2021, as global uncertainty and market disruption 
continued, our agile culture helped us embrace the changes 
we were presented with. The determination and talent of our 
people shone through.

Global online sales increased 30% in 2020*, fuelled by 
e-commerce and the consumption of digital media and 
services. We saw a direct correlation between consumer 
habits, customer demand and our infill strategy.

Our results demonstrate this, as well as the team's alignment 
of consistently owning properties around the world, close to 
consumers. We delivered profitability, maintained a strong 
balance sheet, and stayed true to our purpose.

Goodman’s financial highlights include an operating profit of 
$1.2 billion, statutory profit of $2.3 billion and assets under 
management that grew to $58 billion. Our balance sheet remains 
strong with gearing of 6.8% and available liquidity of $1.9 billion. 
Globally, our Group and Partnership properties achieved a 
revaluation uplift of $5.8 billion, reflecting the portfolio’s quality. 
Distribution per stapled security was 30.0 cents, and net tangible 
assets increased 14.4% to $6.68 per security.

During the year, we have continued our concerted efforts to 
make ESG fundamental to our business. Goodman’s long-
term approach continued to engender positive economic, 
environmental and social outcomes for our business, our 
stakeholders, and the world. 

As providers of essential infrastructure, sustainability is crucial 
to Goodman, and we are proud that our global operations 
achieved carbon neutrality this year. Around the world, we made 
progressive choices and changes to our operations to achieve 
this carbon neutral result well ahead of our 2025 target. 

Goodman has been positioning itself for this demand for 
several years. Our strategy is serving our customers well and 
during the year we leased 3.9 million sqm of space and our 
portfolio occupancy remains high at 98.1%. This supported 
the like for like growth in rental income of 3.2%.

Our Partnerships achieved average total returns of close to 
18% while maintaining strong credit metrics. External assets 
under management reached $54.0 billion with $18.1 billion 
liquidity in the form of equity commitments, cash and undrawn 
debt. We also completed $3.1 billion of asset sales across our 
Partnerships – primarily in Europe where we have continued 
to refine our investment strategy. Strong demand for industrial 
assets globally resulted in demand from capital partners 
seeking to invest alongside us. 

Our financial performance, high occupancy rates and rental 
growth are the result of our strategy to own assets in markets 
where barriers to entry are high, land is scarce, and demand 
is robust. 

We continued to deploy capital to support our organic growth 
strategy, which saw our development workbook increase to 
$10.6 billion. Our global work-in-progress is spread across 
73 projects and 12 countries, and the depth of demand is 
leading to a high level of lease pre-commitment. 

Goodman leads in the urban regeneration of logistics sites 
around the world. This expertise has grown more valuable, with 
the sustainable redevelopment of brownfield sites in high demand 
by our customers and these are supported by the public sector. 
Such developments are beneficial to the environment as they 
reduce the amount of greenfield land developed and re-use 
existing infrastructure. Infill locations, meanwhile, tend to be close 
to consumers, which provides our customers with faster speed to 
market and lower transport-related emissions. 

Globally, Goodman continued to work with planning authorities 
and local municipalities on innovative land use developments 
– an endeavour of greater mutual benefit where planning 
authorities are conducive to the increased utilisation of space, 
including multi-storey buildings which comprise approximately 
50% of what we are currently developing around the world.

A sustainable impact

Forward thinking

We have witnessed the digitalisation of the world. And there’s 
more to come. 

Changing consumption habits have fundamentally changed 
the volume and nature of demand from our customers – which 
Goodman was, and still is, ready for. As a business that is 
always looking to the future, we have been strengthening our 
expertise and operational platform, while maintaining our strong 
balance sheet over several years to facilitate this transition. 

I couldn’t be prouder of the Goodman team’s commitment 
to deliver high-quality, sustainable assets with integrity, 
determination and innovation. We’re well prepared for the future.

Sincerely

Gregory Goodman 
Group Chief Executive Officer

By accelerating the scale and timing of our sustainability 
goals, Goodman achieved carbon neutral global operations 
four years ahead of our 2025 target.

Collectively with our contractors and customers, we are 
working to decarbonise our development projects. We believe 
it is critical to examine the impact of steel, concrete and other 
materials and processes. As such, we have established a 
framework to measure the volume of embodied emissions in 
our development projects globally. This will enable Goodman 
to reduce or offset embodied carbon in the future. 

Our sustainability goals are progressive, appropriate and 
aligned with our customers’ aspirations. They reflect our 
obligation to act decisively on climate change, to reduce the 
risk of obsolescence and to ensure the future performance of 
our assets.

Throughout the year, Goodman Foundation remained 
steadfast in its efforts to help its charitable partners not only 
survive but rise to the challenge of the pandemic. It was a 
time to back our many charity partners who knew what their 
communities needed most, and to be generous and flexible in 
how we supported them through one of the most challenging 
years imaginable. 

Flexible and inclusive 

Flexible working is the new normal at Goodman. We have 
created an agile, technology-enabled working environment, 
which prioritises health, safety and wellbeing for our people 
around the world. Flexible working suits our culture and global 
operations. It also protects our teams and increases our 
productivity and diversity. Furthermore, it opens up opportunities 
for our people – particularly caregivers and parents.

We view our people as owners in the business. All Goodman 
employees participate in our Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), 
which aligns their interests to those of our securityholders  
and helps us to retain key talent and maintain low turnover. 
The financial framework around our LTIP encourages long-
term decision making and underpins personal responsibility.

We are committed to inclusion and diversity. Our target is to 
increase women in senior roles to 40% by 2030 so that our 
capable female leaders, mentors and managers can continue  
to have a widespread and meaningful impact on our culture.

Directors’ report

The directors (Directors) of Goodman Limited 
(ABN 69 000 123 071) and Goodman Funds Management 
Limited (GFML), the responsible entity for Goodman Industrial 
Trust (ARSN 091 213 839), present their Directors’ report 
together with the consolidated financial statements of 
Goodman Limited and the entities it controlled (Goodman or 
Group) and the consolidated financial statements of Goodman 
Industrial Trust and the entities it controlled (GIT) at the end of, 
or during, the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (FY21) and 
the audit report thereon.

Shares in Goodman Limited (Company or GL), units in 
Goodman Industrial Trust (Trust) and CHESS Depositary 
Interests (CDIs) over shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited 
(GLHK) are stapled to one another and are quoted as a single 
security on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). In respect 
of stapling arrangements, Australian Accounting Standards 
require an acquirer to be identified and an in-substance 
acquisition to be recognised and accordingly Goodman Limited 
is identified as having acquired control over the assets of GIT 
and GLHK. The consolidated financial statements of Goodman 
Limited therefore include the results of GIT and GLHK.

As permitted by the relief provided in Australian Securities 
& Investments Commission (ASIC) Instrument 20-0568, the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements present both 
the financial statements and accompanying notes of Goodman 
and GIT. GLHK, which is incorporated and domiciled in 
Hong Kong, prepares its financial statements under Hong 
Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the applicable 
requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and 
accordingly the financial statements of GLHK have not been 
included as adjacent columns in the consolidated financial 
statements. The financial statements of GLHK have been 
included as an appendix to this financial report.

GFML, as responsible entity for the Trust, is solely responsible 
for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial 
report of GIT, in accordance with the Trust’s Constitution and 
the Corporations Act 2001.

 Operating profit per security (operating EPS) is the operating profit divided by the weighted average number of securities on issue during FY21, including securities 
relating to performance rights that have not yet vested but where the performance hurdles have been achieved. Operating profit comprises profit attributable to 
Securityholders adjusted for net property valuations gains, non-property impairment losses, net gains/losses from the fair value movements on derivative financial 
instruments and unrealised fair value and foreign exchange movements on interest bearing liabilities and other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items 
e.g. the share based payments expense associated with Goodman’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). 
 As it is closely aligned with operating cash generation, the Directors consider that Goodman’s operating profit is a key measure by which to examine the underlying 
performance of the business, notwithstanding that operating profit is not an income measure under International Financial Reporting Standards.
 Development work in progress (WIP) is the end value of active developments across Goodman and its investments in associates and joint ventures (referred to 
as Partnerships).
 Gearing is calculated as total interest bearing liabilities over total assets, both net of cash and the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments included in 
other financial assets of $134.1 million (2020: $292.5 million). Total interest bearing liabilities are grossed up for the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments 
included in other financial liabilities of $62.3 million (2020: $194.0 million).
 Interest cover is operating profit before net finance expense (operating) and income tax (operating) divided by net finance expense (operating). The calculation is in 
accordance with the financial covenants associated with the Group’s unsecured bank loans and includes certain adjustments to the numerator and denominator.

Overview
The Group has been able to adapt to the challenges that 
FY21 has brought and has continued to grow the business 
sustainably for the long term.

The global pandemic has accelerated the changes in 
consumption trends that had already begun across the 
physical and digital spaces and this has increased demand 
for warehouse and logistics facilities. This has benefitted the 
Group’s existing portfolios in FY21, which have reported growth 
in rental income and maintained high occupancy levels. It has 
also given the Group confidence to commence a number of 
new developments, particularly multi-storey and higher intensity 
buildings within its urban locations, and these developments are 
providing essential real estate infrastructure for the long-term 
requirements of those cities and the Group’s customers.

This increase in development activity has been a key driver 
of the Group’s operating performance for FY21, with operating 
profit increasing by 15.0% to $1,219.4 million. This equates 
to an operating EPS of 65.6 cents, up 14.1% on FY20.

The customer demand for industrial space has led to 
another strong property valuation result with total property 
uplifts, including the Group’s share of Partnerships, for FY21 
of $1,308.5 million. Across FY21, the weighted average 
capitalisation rate of the stabilised assets in the Goodman 
portfolios contracted from 4.9% to 4.3%.

The operating performance and property valuation results 
have contributed to Goodman’s statutory profit attributable 
to Securityholders for FY21 increasing by $807.9 million to 
$2,311.9 million. The statutory profit is reported net of the 
accounting expense of the Goodman LTIP of $268.8 million 
and included a $55.0 million fair value gain on derivatives. 
These items, as well as the property valuation results, are 
excluded from the calculation of operating profit.

Goodman has achieved this result while maintaining credit 
metrics in accordance with its financial risk management policy. 
At 30 June 2021, gearing was 6.8% and the funds available 
to the Group for future investment were $1.9 billion. Dividends 
and distributions relating to FY21 were maintained at 30 cents 
per security, equivalent to 46% of operating profit. The cash 
retained in the business is consistent with the financial risk 
management targets and is considered appropriate given the 
significant development activity and the commensurate growth 
in investments that is expected in the near term.

Analysis of performance
Goodman’s key operating regions are Australia and New Zealand 
(reported on a combined basis), Asia (Greater China and Japan), 
Continental Europe (with the vast majority of assets located in 
Germany and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas 
(North America and Brazil). The operational performance 
can be analysed into property investment earnings, 
management earnings and development earnings, and the 
Directors consider this presentation of the consolidated 
results facilitates a better understanding of the underlying 
performance of Goodman given the differing nature of and 
risks associated with each earnings stream.

Property investment earnings consist of gross property income 
(excluding straight lining of rental income), less property 
expenses, plus Goodman’s share of the operating results of 
Partnerships that is allocable to property investment activities 
which excludes the Group’s share of property revaluations 
and derivative mark to market movements. The key drivers 
for maintaining or growing Goodman’s property investment 
earnings are increasing the level of AUM (subject also to 
Goodman’s direct and indirect interest), maintaining or 
increasing occupancy and rental levels within the portfolio, and 
controlling operating and financing costs within Partnerships.

Management earnings relate to the revenue from managing 
both the property portfolios and the capital invested 
in Partnerships (management income). This includes 
performance related revenues but excludes earnings from 
managing development activities in Partnerships, which 
are included in development earnings. The key drivers for 
maintaining or growing management earnings are activity 
levels, asset performance, and increasing the level of AUM, which 
can be impacted by property valuations and asset disposals and 
is also dependent on liquidity including the continued availability 
of third party capital to fund both development activity and 
acquisitions across Goodman’s Partnerships. 

Development earnings consist of development income, plus 
Goodman’s share of the operating results of Partnerships 
that is allocable to development activities, plus net gains or 
losses from disposals of investment properties and equity 
investments that are allocable to development activities, 
plus interest income on loans to development joint ventures, 
less development expenses. Development income includes 
development management fees and also performance related 
revenues associated with managing individual development 
projects in Partnerships. The key drivers for Goodman’s 
development earnings are the level of development activity, 
land and construction prices, property valuations and 
the continued availability of third party capital to fund 
development activity.

The Group’s property portfolios are concentrated in large, 
urban centres around the world where demand from 
customers has put pressure on land use and availability. 
As a consequence of the acceleration of consumer 
purchasing habits to online shopping, Goodman has seen 
increased demand for space from customers in the food, 
consumer goods and logistics sectors, particularly related to 
e-commerce operators and those transitioning to online. At 
the same time, customers have continued to invest in order 
to improve the efficiency of their supply chains. In addition 
to storage and movements of goods, data centres have also 
emerged as a rapidly growing user of industrial property.

The directly held properties are primarily in Australia and have 
potential for significant long-term growth from redevelopment 
to more intense or higher and better uses. The net income 
from the Group’s directly held properties was similar to the 
prior year as the impacts of rental growth, completion of 
developments and acquisitions were offset by assets sold in 
the current and prior periods.

The more significant component of the Group’s property 
investment earnings was from its cornerstone interests in the 
Partnerships. The earnings from the Group’s share of these 
stabilised assets decreased by $14.5 million to $332.2 million 
compared to the prior year. The impact of disposals in FY20 
and FY21, which included properties in central and eastern 
Europe, and the foreign currency translation on the overseas 
earnings resulted in a decrease in earnings of $29.0 million. 
This was partly offset by the stabilisation of developments in 
FY20 and FY21, as the Group has continued to invest in the 
Partnerships to fund its share of those developments and 
rental income growth from existing stabilised properties. Net 
property income from the Partnership portfolios in FY21 was 
up by over 3% on a like for like basis compared to FY20 and 
average occupancy was maintained at 98%.

During FY21, the Group’s share of property valuations from 
the stabilised portfolios (before deferred tax) was $1,174.9 
million, which included valuation uplifts of $164.2 million 
on developments that reached completion during the 
year. Valuation gains occurred in all regions and whilst the 
rental income growth and development completions were 
contributors to these uplifts, the primary driver, especially in 
the second half of the financial year, was capitalisation rate 
compression. At 30 June 2021, the WACR for the Group’s 
portfolios was 4.3%, compared to 4.9% at the start of FY21.

The operating return on Goodman’s investment in the 
stabilised portfolios held by the Partnerships was 4.3% 
compared to 4.9% in FY20, as the growth in net property 
income was offset by the impacts of the valuation uplifts 
that increased the investment base. The returns from the 
Partnerships were also impacted by the level of debt in 
each Partnership. Gearing was maintained at the lower end 
of target ranges, which continued to be appropriate given 
the ongoing development activity and the aim of Goodman 
and its investment partners to position the Partnerships for 
sustainable long-term growth.

Annual Report 2021

Management

Development

Management earnings in FY21 of $459.1 million decreased 
by 10% compared to the prior year and comprised 29% of 
total operating earnings (2020: 34%). This was due to lower 
performance fee revenue recognised in FY21 and the net 
adverse impact of the translation of the overseas earnings 
compared to the prior year. The reduction in performance 
related revenue was the result of the timing of calculation 
and recognition of fees. With the strong performance of the 
Partnerships in recent times, a significant backlog of potential 
fees may be earned in the future should conditions remain 
stable. The decline was partially offset by the higher base 
management fees as a result of the increased AUM. During 
FY21, external AUM increased by 12% to $54.0 billion from 
$48.0 billion as set out below:

Excluding performance related income, management fee 
income earned from the overall management of the Group’s 
Partnerships was $310.1 million (2020: $304.0 million). Base 
management fee income increased in line with the external 
AUM, noting that the majority of the disposals occurred in 
the early part of the year and a significant component of the 
valuation uplifts were recorded at 30 June 2021. The base 
management fee income was supplemented by both property 
services income, which was based on the gross property 
income in Partnerships, and other income such as leasing fees 
and transactional fees.

For FY21, the Partnerships reported a weighted average total 
return on net assets of 17.7% (2020: 16.6%). The consistently 
high Partnership returns over the past few years again resulted 
in a strong contribution from performance fee revenue of 
$149.0 million; however, the timing of the assessment dates 
meant this was down on the prior period (FY20: $207.2 
million). These performance fees arose primarily in Australia/
New Zealand, Asia and Continental Europe.

In FY21, development earnings were $717.9 million (excluding 
revaluation gains), an increase of 25% on the prior year and 
comprised 45% of total operating earnings (2020: 38%). 
This increase would have been greater but for the adverse 
impact on earnings from the foreign currency translation of 
overseas earnings.

The increase in the Group’s earnings has primarily been 
volume driven and the progress and execution of the Group’s 
developments continues to be robust with commencements 
in FY21 of $6.6 billion (FY20: $4.5 billion). At 30 June 2021, 
WIP (based on end value) had increased to $10.6 billion (FY20: 
$6.5 billion) across 73 projects with a forecast yield on cost 
of 6.7% and a number of those projects will also generate 
income for FY22 and FY23.

This increase in development volumes has more than offset 
the impact on income arising from the longer development 
timeframes required for the size and scale of current projects, 
given the concentration in urban locations. Approximately 55%  
of WIP at 30 June 2021 was multi-storey and the average 
duration of projects in WIP was around 19 months, which implied 
an annualised production rate for the workbook of $6.6 billion.

Given the strong customer demand and the continued 
focus on urban centres, where the supply of available 
land is restricted, the Group has been able to commence 
certain projects prior to securing a pre-lease commitment. 
Nevertheless, of the $6.6 billion of project commencements 
during the year, 57% had pre-committed leases and of the 
development completions during FY21 of $2.4 billion (FY20: 
$2.4 billion), 96% had pre-committed leases. 

The Group’s development earnings arise in each operating 
segment and from a number of different transaction types, 
often dependent on the nature of the Partnership. In most of 
the operating segments, development earnings are a mix of 
development management income, including performance 
related income, and the Group’s share of transactional profits 
reported by the Partnerships. The majority of inventory disposals 
and fixed price contract income occurred in Continental Europe, 
where the local Partnerships frequently acquire completed 
developments from Goodman; however, there were inventory 
disposals in Australia and the United Kingdom during FY21. 
Consistent with the prior year, the majority of development 
activity in FY21 was undertaken by or for the Partnerships and 
third parties (81% of WIP at 30 June 2021).

Analysis of performance (continued)

Operating expenses

For FY21, operating expenses increased to $294.0 million from 
$292.3 million, despite a $10 million decrease from the impact 
of foreign currency translation on overseas expenses. The 
majority of the operating expenses related to remuneration 
costs which increased to $210.8 million from $203.7 million as 
a result of modest inflation pressure and cash incentives paid 
as a result of the Group’s overall performance and include an 
allowance for a sustainability initiative to incentivise employees 
to switch to electric vehicles. Headcount was maintained in 
most divisions. The Group’s aim is to keep base remuneration 
costs relatively steady, and instead use variable remuneration 
to incentivise staff.

Administrative expenses decreased to $83.2 million from 
$88.9 million primarily due to the impacts of foreign currency 
translation and savings in travel expenses.

Net finance expense (operating)

Net finance expense (operating), which excluded interest 
income on loans to development joint ventures, derivative 
mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, 
decreased to $16.4 million from $70.8 million. This was 
due to lower borrowing expenses on the Group’s foreign 
denominated loans and derivatives due to the impact of the 
higher Australian dollar. The foreign exchange driven decline 
in investment, development and management earnings 
described above has been offset in the benefits recorded 
in the finance expense. This is consistent with the Group’s 
hedging strategy that has been in effect for many years. In 
some prior periods, the borrowing expenses where higher but 
that offset the translation gains in revenues. The redemption 
of certain 144A notes also contributed to the decline in net 
finance expenses. These factors were partly offset by the 
lower interest received on the Group’s cash balances and 
lower capitalised interest due to declining interest rates.

Capital management

Interest bearing liabilities

At 30 June 2021, the Group’s available debt facilities and fixed 
rate long-term bonds, which totalled $3.1 billion (of which 
$2.1 billion had been drawn), had a weighted average maturity 
of 6.3 years. The Group’s cash and undrawn bank facilities 
totalled $1.9 billion.

At 30 June 2021, gearing was 6.8% (2020: 7.5%), which 
continued to be at the lower end of the Group’s policy range of 
0% to 25%. Interest cover was 63.7 times (2020: 15.3 times) 
and the Group continued to have significant headroom relative 
to its financing covenants. Goodman’s credit ratings were 
unchanged over the year.

During FY21, the Group and its Partnerships refinanced 
$5.4 billion of bank debt and secured third party equity 
commitments of $1.8 billion to provide liquidity for ongoing 
acquisition and development opportunities. At 30 June 
2021, the Partnerships had $18.1 billion in available cash, 
undrawn bank facilities and equity commitments, noting that 
the majority of the equity commitments remain subject to 
the approval by the relevant investment partners, including 
Goodman, of proposed property investments for which the 
funding is required.

Dividends and distributions

The Group’s distribution for FY21 was maintained at 30 cents 
per security, a pay-out ratio of 46%, with 15 cents paid on 25 
February 2020 and 15 cents to be paid on 26 August 2021. This 
pay-out ratio has assisted the Group in retaining sufficient funds 
for its ongoing development activity and in keeping gearing at 
an appropriate level, within the desired range. The distribution 
reinvestment plan was not in operation during the year.

In respect of the separate components that comprise the 30 
cents per security:

Income tax expense (operating)

+  Goodman Limited did not declare any dividends during the 

Income tax expense (operating) for FY21 at $58.7 million

A significant proportion of Goodman’s earnings related to 
GIT and its controlled entities, which, as trusts, are ‘flow 
through’ entities under Australian tax legislation, meaning 
Securityholders (and not GIT) are taxed on their respective 
share of income. However, the decrease in the tax expense 
was primarily due to the nature and location of the Group’s 
development revenues.

Annual Report 2021

Summary of items that reconcile operating 
profit to statutory profit

Property valuation related movements

The net gain from fair value adjustments on investment 
properties directly held by Goodman was $63.1 million 
(2020: $45.2 million). The uplift in value was primarily due to 
the contraction in capitalisation rates.

Goodman’s share of net gains from fair value adjustments 
before deferred tax attributable to investment properties in 
Partnerships was $1,335.4 million (2020: $625.0 million), a 
reflection of the quality of the property portfolios and the 
continued customer and investor demand for industrial 
assets. This valuation uplift comprised $1,111.8 million in 
respect of the stabilised portfolio (including valuation uplifts 
on developments that stabilised during the year) and $223.6 
million (2020: $182.0 million) from investment properties that 
were still under development at 30 June 2021.

At 30 June 2021, the WACR for Goodman’s stabilised property 
portfolios (both directly held and Partnerships) decreased from 
4.9% to 4.3%.

The valuation gains of $223.6 million from investment 
properties that were still under development at 30 June 2021 
included gains of $95.9 million that related to buildings under 
development that were subject to conditional contracts for 
sale. In prior years, properties under development were 
typically not revalued prior to completion due to the shorter 
development periods and, as a consequence, the entire 
development profit was recognised in the Group’s statutory 
profit in the year the contract was completed. This profit was 
also reported as Development earnings in the analysis of the 
Group’s operating profit.

Given the lengthening time periods for the Group’s 
developments, it has become increasingly common that 
at reporting dates properties under development that have 
incomplete contracts for disposal are subject to more 
significant fair value movements. These movements would be 
reflected in the Group’s statutory profit but would not form part 
of that year’s operating profit. The Board intends, however, 
that any property valuation gains associated with properties 
contracted for sale that arise during the period from the 
commencement of the development until the date of disposal 
are included as Development earnings for the purposes of 
the Group’s operating profit calculation, but this should only 
occur in the reporting period when the conditions have been 
satisfied and the properties have been derecognised. This will 
usually be upon cash settlement, which reinforces the principle 
for determining operating profit based on cash realisation.

Accordingly, the fair value gains of $95.9 million in FY21 that 
related to buildings under development subject to conditional 
contracts for sale at 30 June 2021 will be reflected in operating 
profit, but only in the future reporting period when the properties 
are derecognised. In the future period when this occurs, the 
reconciliation of the Group’s statutory profit to the Group’s 
operating profit will include a separate line item under the 
property valuation related movements. This way, the valuation 
increases are not double counted when considering total gains 
generated over multiple periods. This operating profit treatment 
is consistent with the approach applied to a similar property 
disposal by one of the Partnerships that was contracted in FY19 
and completed in FY20. In respect of the current financial year, 
there were no similar development completions.

There were no impairment losses associated with the Group’s 
inventories during FY21.

Fair value adjustments and unrealised foreign currency 
exchange movements related to liability management

The amount reported in the income statement associated with 
the Group’s derivative financial instruments was a net gain of 
$55.0 million (2020: $6.8 million net gain). This was due to the 
strengthening of the Australian dollar against the currencies 
where the Group has its principal operations.

Under the Group’s policy, it continues to hedge between 
65% and 90% of the net investment in its major overseas 
operations. Where Goodman invests in foreign assets, 
it will borrow in that currency or enter into derivative 
financial instruments to create a similar liability. In so doing, 
Goodman reduces its net asset and income exposures to 
those currencies. The unrealised fair value movement of the 
derivative financial instruments (up or down) is recorded in the 
income statement; however, the foreign currency translation 
of the net investment that is being hedged is recorded directly 
in reserves. In FY21, the movement in reserves attributable to 
foreign currency movements was a loss of $279.4 million.

Other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items

The principal other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring 
items for FY21 related to the share based payments expense of 
$268.8 million for Goodman’s LTIP, which increased from $164.0 
million in FY20. The increase primarily related to the fact that the 
Goodman Group security price increased from $14.85 to $21.17 
during FY21 compared to a decrease from $15.03 to $14.85 in 
FY20 and also the impact of a higher vesting probability applied 
to the awards made in FY20 that are subject to an operating EPS 
target that will be measured over the year ending 30 June 2022.

The carrying value of wholly owned, stabilised investment 
properties increased by $224.3 million to $2,022.2 million at 
30 June 2021. This was primarily due to valuation uplifts 
of $63.1 million and the net impact of acquisitions, capital 
expenditure, disposals and transfers to/from development.

The value of Goodman’s cornerstone investments in 
Partnerships, which excludes the Group’s share of their 
development assets, increased by $861.3 million to $8,668.6 
million, primarily due to the valuation uplifts across the portfolios. 
The impacts of the stabilisations of development properties of 
$267.9 million (primarily in GNAP) and the associated equity 
contributed was offset by the impact of foreign currency 
translation of $279.2 million. The impact of the sale of central and 
eastern European assets went partially to debt reduction so it 
did not materially impact the Group’s overall investments.

Goodman’s development holdings, which include the Group’s 
share of development assets in the Partnerships as well as the 
directly held properties, increased during the year by $505.0 
million to $3,645.1 million. This was a result of both the increased 
activity levels that occurred in most regions and valuation uplifts 
associated with investment properties under development in the 
Partnerships (primarily in Asia and North America). The strong 
levels of development activity are also reflected in the level of the 
Group’s development WIP (end value), which increased over the 
year from $6.5 billion to $10.6 billion at 30 June 2021.

The principal goodwill and intangible asset balances were in 
Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. The movement 
during FY21 related to changes in foreign currency exchange 
rates and there were no impairments or reversals of impairments.

18

During FY21, the Group redeemed USD denominated notes of 
US$453.8 million out of its existing cash. On a net basis, the 
Group’s cash and interest bearing liabilities were $1,139.9 million 
at 30 June 2021 compared to $1,156.6 million at 30 June 2020.

Other assets included receivables and the fair values of 
derivative financial instruments that are in an asset position. 
The derivative financial instruments, both those in an asset 
and those in a liability position, are in place to hedge the 
Group’s interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

Other liabilities included trade and other payables, the 
provision for dividends/distributions to Securityholders, fair 
values of derivative financial instruments that are in a liability 
position and tax liabilities (including deferred tax).

Operating cash flows of $1,114.7 million were slightly lower 
than the prior year. This was a result of lower cash receipts 
from portfolio performance fees, which was offset by an 
increase in the net development cash flows and lower net 
cash outflows associated with the Group’s finance costs.

The receipts of portfolio performance fees are dependent on the 
assessment dates for the Partnerships although revenues may 
be recognised in advance of the assessment dates where the 
consistently strong Partnership returns mean that the receipt of 
revenue is highly probable. The prior year included cash receipts 
from portfolio performance fees in respect of certain of the larger 
Partnerships. In some cases, cash from management activities 
may be received in advance of the services being provided; as a 
result, these revenues will be reflected in the income statement 
later than the receipt. Such cash receipts occurred in FY20 in 
advance of revenue recognised in FY21 in the income statement.

Annual Report 2021

The net development cash inflow was $612.9 million (2020: 
$412.4 million), although both the gross receipts from 
development activities of $1,560.3 million (2020: $1,031.4 
million) and the gross payments for development activities of 
$947.4 million (2020: $619.0 million) were higher than the prior 
year. This arose in part due to the nature and structure of the 
development activities and also the timing of completions, 
especially in respect of the developments that are undertaken 
directly by the Group and subsequently sold to Partnerships or 
third parties. For FY21 overall, Goodman undertook a similar 
percentage of its total development activities in joint ventures 
and Partnerships relative to the prior year. When Partnerships 
require funding for development activities then the Group’s 
share of the investment is reported in investing cash flows.

The distributions received from Partnerships in FY21 were 
$536.9 million, increased from $462.2 million in the prior year. 
The Partnerships continued to distribute their net cash flows 
from property investment (rental income) but the primary 
reason for this increase was the Group’s share of development 
activities in the Partnerships.

Investing cash flows

Investing cash flows primarily related to the net investments in 
Partnerships. In FY21 the Group invested $790.3 million (2020: 
$806.6 million) across all regions in order to fund new and 
ongoing developments. Capital returns from the Partnerships 
reflected capital management initiatives by certain 
Partnerships, with the receipts often used to fund investments 
in other Partnerships.

The investment property acquisitions of $192.3 million (2020: 
$234.3 million) were in Asia and the United Kingdom and the 
investment property disposals arose in Australia.

Financing cash flows

Financing cash flows include the drawdowns and repayments 
associated with Goodman’s interest bearing liabilities. As 
referred to previously, the Group redeemed USD denominated 
notes of US$453.8 million during the year.

The other principal financing cash outflows were the 
distributions paid to Securityholders of $551.4 million (2020: 
$546.3 million) and loan funding provided to development joint 
ventures of $135.0 million (2020: $ 9.8 million).

During FY21, the Group also issued new capital of $65.1 
million (2020: $nil) to fund certain obligations under the LTIP.

Outlook
Goodman has developed significant expertise in its markets 
with a deliberate strategy to target high barrier to entry 
markets. This has positioned the Group well for future growth.

The business remains agile and consumer-centric, focused 
on the changing consumption habits across the physical and 
digital space and the evolving requirements of customers 
around the world. The logistics and warehousing sector 
continues to play a significant role globally in providing essential 
infrastructure, enabling distribution of critical products.

Development activity and performance will continue to be 
driven by significant customer led demand and the Group’s 
ability to meet the opportunities that this presents. The growth 
in demand from customers and investors, and the strength of 
the Group’s locations have seen land values rise and as a result 
many of Goodman’s existing stabilised properties have become 
viable for redevelopment. The Board expects the increased 
levels of development activity seen in FY21 will continue into 
FY22 and the Group is well positioned to maintain an average 
annual production rate consistent with the current levels, with 
multi-storey developments a meaningful contributor.

The outlook for investment and management earnings 
also remains strong, as the customer demand and supply 
constraints in the Group’s markets provide support for both 
rents and occupancy. Investment earnings will also benefit 
from the completion of the ongoing developments and 
management earnings will be further enhanced by the strong 
positive near-term valuation outlook, which combined with 
the sustained development volumes, are expected to provide 
growth in AUM to more than $65 billion in FY22.

The Board sets financial performance targets annually 
and reviews them regularly. The Board anticipates that the 
challenges brought about by COVID-19 will continue over 
the longer term, however the Group has significant expertise, 
financial resources, a strategic real estate portfolio and 
culture to adapt to challenging business conditions. Overall, 
the Group expects to achieve operating EPS of 72.2 cents in 
FY22, up 10% on FY21.

Forecasts are subject to there being no material adverse 
change in market conditions or the occurrence of other 
unforeseen events.

Directors’ report

Risks
Goodman identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an 
assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported 
to the Board annually.

Goodman has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision making process. 
This is facilitated by a Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, 
which considers all major operational decisions and transactions. The Group Investment Committee meets on a weekly basis.

The Board has separate committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee reviews and monitors 
a range of material risks in Goodman’s risk management systems including, among other risks, market risks, operational risks, 
sustainability, regulation and compliance and information technology. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk 
management and tax policies.

The key risks faced by Goodman and the controls that have been established to manage those risks are set out below:

Risk area

Mitigation

 + Low gearing, ample liquidity and appropriate hedging and 

duration to absorb market shocks

 + Appropriate hedging quantities and duration in accordance with 

Financial Risk Management Policy

 + Diversification and tenure of debt funding sources and maturities
 + Capital partnering transfers risks into Partnerships
 + Diversification of investment partners
 + Change in distribution pay-out ratio consistent with contribution 

to increasing development workbook

 + Strong assets that can generate better rental outcomes
 + Long lease terms with prime customers
 + Key urban market strategy – urban infill locations support 

re-usability of property

 + Adaptable and re-usable building design – ease to reconfigure 

for another customer.

 + Global diversification of Goodman’s property portfolios
 + Focus on core property portfolios in key urban market locations
 + Focus on cost management
 + Prudent capital management with low gearing and significant 

available liquidity to allow for potential market shocks

 + Co-investment with local capital partners.

 + Independent governance structures
 + Core values and attitudes, with an embedded compliance culture 

focused on best practice

 + Dedicated Chief Risk Officer and Compliance Officer
 + Review of transactions by the Group Investment Committee.

 + Succession planning for senior executives
 + Competitive remuneration structures, including the LTIP
 + Performance management and review

Capital 
management 
(debt, equity 
and cashflow)

Goodman could suffer an inability to deliver its 
strategy, or an acute liquidity or solvency crisis, 
financial loss or financial distress as a result of 
a failure in the design or execution of its capital 
management and financing strategy.

Economic and 
geopolitical 
environment

Governance, 
regulation and 
compliance

People and culture

Global economic conditions and government 
policies present both risks and opportunities 
in the property and financial markets and the 
business of our customers, which can impact 
the delivery of Goodman’s strategy and its 
financial performance. 
A continued increase in geopolitical tension 
between countries could have potential 
consequences on our people, operations 
and capital partners.

Non-compliance with legislation, regulators, or 
internal policies, or to understand and respond 
to changes in the political and regulatory 
environment (including taxation) could result in 
legal action, financial consequences and damage 
our standing and reputation with stakeholders.

Failure to recruit, develop, support and retain 
staff with the right skills and experience may 
result in significant underperformance or impact 
the effectiveness of operations and decision 
making, in turn impacting business performance.
Maintaining an organisational culture, in a 
changing workplace environment, commensurate 
with Goodman’s values.

Annual Report 2021

Risk area

Mitigation

Development

Development risks may arise from location, 
site complexity, planning and permitting, 
infrastructure, size, duration along with general 
contractor capability.

Disruption, changes 
in demand and 
obsolescence

The longer-term risk that an inability to 
understand and respond effectively to changes 
in our competitive landscape and customer 
value chain could result in business model 
disruption and asset obsolescence, including the 
perception of obsolescence in the short term.

Environmental 
sustainability and 
climate change

Failure to deliver on Goodman’s sustainability 
leadership strategy and ambitions may lead to a 
negative impact on Goodman’s reputation, ability 
to raise capital and a disruption to operations and 
stranded assets.

Asset and portfolio

Inability to execute asset planning and 
management strategies, including leasing 
risk exposures, can reduce returns from 
Goodman’s portfolios.

partners, supply chain, customers and markets,

Dear Securityholders,

Sustained performance

On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to present the 2021 
remuneration report, outlining Goodman’s remuneration 
strategy and principles.

The financial year 2021 (FY21) has been marked by the 
ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 
associated challenges for Goodman’s business, our people, 
customers, investors and the communities in which we 
operate and live.

During this time and amid physical changes to the working 
environment, Goodman’s culture and long-term focus on 
building leadership capability and resilience in our assets, has 
allowed us to continue to respond and adapt. Our business 
plays an important role in providing essential infrastructure as 
well as aspiring to make a tangible difference to the communities 
in which we operate, and Goodman has reacted to the crisis 
through increasing support to affected groups. We appreciate 
the exceptional effort that has been made by our people.

Managing the welfare of employees has been a critical 
consideration in achieving the Group’s financial and operational 
targets. Goodman has moved to a fully flexible operating 
environment with all our people globally set up with access to 
mobile connectivity, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic 
on personal situations. We believe over time this will lead 
to improved diversity in the workforce. Managers within the 
Group, in particular the senior executives, have demonstrated 
significant levels of leadership, compassion and commitment in 
their efforts to achieve the Group’s commercial objectives.

Goodman is a leading internationally diversified real estate 
fund manager in the logistics real estate sector. The attraction 
and retention of talent is essential for the long-term success of 
the business. This is increasingly challenging as opportunistic 
competitors seek to recruit Goodman’s high-performing 
teams, exacerbated by significantly increased demand for 
logistics real estate in our markets.

Our longstanding and consistent approach to remuneration 
has served us well and has been a key driver of our 
sustained success as an international business. Goodman’s 
remuneration framework is essential to attracting and retaining 
high quality professionals with local expertise, who develop 
businesses and foster relationships globally and drive 
Goodman’s long-term success. This approach aligns the 
interests of employees and Securityholders and is integral to 
the exceptional results delivered for Securityholders over a 
sustained period.

Over more than a decade, the Group has established strong 
and resilient leadership teams, culture, financial resources and 
a strategic real estate portfolio, to enhance the sustainability of 
earnings through difficult market conditions. This has allowed 
us to adapt to the new operating environment with limited 
disruption and continue to position for long-term growth. The 
Board is proud that Goodman has performed strongly through 
this period and our long-term vision, which includes a strong 
focus on cash flow, liquidity, and risk management, has been 
executed consistently and diligently.

Goodman has demonstrated great resilience against a 
challenging backdrop. Our strong financial results and returns 
to Securityholders in FY21 reflect the global diversity of our

+  Statutory profit of $2.3 billion for Goodman and $6.7 billion 

across the combined Group and Partnerships

+  Operating profit of $1.2 billion (+15%) for Goodman

+  Goodman operating EPS growth of 14% materially 
exceeded initial guidance to the market of 9%

+  Significant growth in the end value of development work in 
progress up 63% during FY21 to $10.6 billion at 30 June 
2021, positioning the business well into FY22 and making 
Goodman the largest listed specialist developer of logistics 
assets globally

+  Total assets under management increased 12% to $57.9 billion

+  Substantial revaluation growth of $5.8 billion across the

Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)

FY21 results represented a competitive rate of growth in 
earnings whilst maintaining appropriate levels of risk relative 
to other large listed equity alternatives. The results delivered 
in the year also represented significant outperformance 
relative to operational targets and this translated into superior 
returns for Securityholders while positioning the business for 
future sustainable growth. Despite the market uncertainty, our 
measured approach over many years has allowed Goodman 
to retain, and also exceed, previous operating EPS guidance 
for FY21 and to position the business for a competitive rate of 
operating EPS growth for FY22.

We have continued to reflect the importance placed on 
achieving our sustainability and environmental objectives, 
incorporating key targets into the operations and long-
term business strategies of the Group. These objectives 
are not only cultural, but our people will be measured on 
achievements against them over the long term.

Continued improvement and alignment of the LTIP

We believe that our fundamental principle of aligning all our 
people and Securityholders meaningfully through equity is 
unusual in the Australian market and has been a significant 
factor contributing to the resilience of our business. This 
should help deliver the Group’s and Securityholders’ desired 
outcomes despite the uncertain outlook for global markets.

Goodman’s business has evolved significantly over the 
past 12 years since the introduction of the current LTIP. The 
Group’s increased focus on urban infill markets has led to 
significantly longer development horizons and time frames for 
realisation of value through the regeneration and change of 
use of these assets. In the Board’s view, the long-term nature 
of the structural trends impacting our sector and Goodman’s 
approach to real estate investment in relation to this, 
necessitates refinements to the current LTIP. Consequently, 
the Board has made changes to the LTIP awards that will be 
made in FY22. For the Group CEO, executive KMP and senior 
executives this includes:

+  Extending the testing period to four years 

(from three years)

+  Significantly increasing the vesting period to ten years 

(from five years)

+ 

Increasing the difficulty of the testing and vesting 
thresholds for both operating EPS and relative TSR

+  Adding environmental and sustainability hurdles to the 

vesting conditions.

28

The Board believes increasing the testing period and 
significantly lengthening the vesting period for the key 
leadership group in the organisation, will further influence 
decision making to deliver operating results which are both 
superior and sustainable over the long term. It also provides 
sufficient time scale to implement our ESG initiatives and 
achieve our targets in a manner which creates even greater 
alignment with the outcomes for Securityholders.

The Board’s belief in a pay for performance culture is reflected 
in the challenging hurdles set for FY22 remuneration awards, 
which if achieved at the top end of the range, should provide 
Securityholders with top decile performance and over 50% 
growth in operating profit over the four years. The Board is 
always mindful of the focus on overall remuneration levels and 
spends considerable time each year determining remuneration 
outcomes for the Group CEO and other Key Management 
Personnel. We recognise the range of expectations and have 
made decisions that we believe take into consideration the 
perspectives of all stakeholders.

We continue to engage in an open and meaningful dialogue 
with Securityholders and other stakeholders to enhance 
understanding of our policy and its contribution to Goodman’s 
performance as well as giving us the opportunity to get an 
update on Securityholder perspectives and local and global 
market practices. We look forward to receiving your views and 
support at our 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Yours sincerely,

1. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

1.2 Key Activities of the Remuneration Committee for FY21

1.1  The role of the Board and Remuneration Committee

The Board considers remuneration with a minimum five year 
view. It takes into consideration the impact that decisions 
made over the last three to five years have had on current 
performance and how it expects the business to perform over 
the next five years and beyond. It is not solely an exercise in 
reviewing a single year.

The Board believes the success of Goodman is primarily due 
to its people and their ability to execute a global strategy that 
requires agility, strong collaboration and an inclusive culture, 
all of which are key elements supported by the LTIP.

The Board:

+  Encourages management to take a long-term strategic 

rather than opportunistic approach to property investment

+ 

+ 

Integrates the operational, financial, environmental, and 
human strategy to create long-term sustainable returns

 Focuses on the consistency of cash generation, through 
the Group’s operating profit, as the most tangible means of 
measuring long-term value creation for Securityholders.

When determining the remuneration levels and outcomes 
for FY21, the Remuneration Committee has considered 
the specifics of individual performance, in the context of 
the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 environment and 
collectively in the context of the Group’s continued strong 
performance. Given the nature of the Group’s global operations, 
the Remuneration Committee has paid particular attention to 
the global marketplace and the competitors in our sector.

Refinements to the LTIP this year aim to reinforce Goodman’s 
long-term decision making in line with the evolution of 
the business and operational strategy, aligning this with 
outcomes for Securityholders as well as providing competitive 
remuneration to attract and retain high quality people.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee was 
reconstituted as the Remuneration Committee on 18 
February 2021 and a separate Nomination Committee was 
established. The establishment of a separate Nomination 
Committee is in line with the ASX Corporate Governance 
Council’s Principles and Recommendations and provides a 
separate focus on the Board composition and skills, succession 
planning for Directors and senior executives (refer to Goodman’s 
Corporate Governance statement for further information).

The Remuneration Committee has continued to make 
significant enhancements to the structure of remuneration. 
The Committee has:

+  Enhanced the LTI awards through the introduction of a ten 
year plan for the Group CEO, executive KMP and other 
senior executives (as detailed in Section 3). This plan, 
which will apply for the intended grant of performance 
rights to be made in September 2021 in respect of FY21 
performance, will extend the testing period to four years 
and the vesting period to ten years, thereby increasing 
the period of alignment between executive remuneration 
and Securityholder returns, will include more challenging 
hurdles and incorporate additional environmental and 
sustainability targets to the testing conditions for all other 
eligible employees

+  Agreed with the Group CEO (as in prior years) that 

he would not participate in the STI award and all his 
performance-based remuneration in relation to his FY21 
performance will be in the form of LTI

+  Added a requirement for executive KMP to hold securities 

in the Group, to a minimum value of 100% of fixed 
remuneration (requirement to be met by 1 October 2021).

Changes are also proposed to Non-Executive Director fees to 
bring them in line with market levels and to the Non-Executive 
Director annual fee cap, to facilitate the increased fees, 
manage Board succession and overlaps, and accommodate 
the potential appointment of additional Directors.

2. REMUNERATION STRATEGY
Goodman is a globally diversified real estate fund manager, the largest developer of industrial and logistics buildings in the 
world and one of the largest listed industrial property managers. The Group’s people are largely based outside Australia, and 
Goodman’s remuneration structure reflects the requirements of the highly competitive labour markets we are competing in 
globally, not just in Australia, and the objective of aligning multiple regional businesses and operational segments with Group 
strategy and performance outcomes. A significant proportion of the value of the Group, reflected in the $27 billion premium 
between Goodman’s security price of $21.17 and Goodman’s net tangible assets per security of $6.68, is attributable to the 
value created across the global platform. Given the active nature of the Group’s operations, the Board believes that this is 
almost entirely due to Goodman’s people, the decisions they make and their ability to execute that has positioned the Group to 
grow cash flow from operations sustainably.

The retention of talent is therefore critical for the long-term success of the Group and is increasingly challenging as opportunistic 
competitors seek to recruit Goodman’s high-performing teams in each of Goodman’s markets. The Group’s remuneration policy 
is crucial to its ability to have the appropriate human resources to deliver on the strategy, create the right culture and drive 
performance for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Goodman’s remuneration structure, in particular the focus on equity-based reward, has been a key component of the success 
of Goodman as an international organisation. The Board believes aligning all people at Goodman with Securityholders through 
the Group’s remuneration policy has added significant value to the Group. It has been a fundamental differentiator in generating 
and rewarding long-term performance and retaining quality people in a highly competitive global environment. It is particularly 
important considering the challenges COVID-19 has created, as it binds all employees together as owners of the business and is 
a powerful incentive and driver of operational resilience.

Annual Report 2021

2.1 

 Key remuneration principles

+  Goodman’s approach to development considers the 

Refining remuneration in line with Group strategy, 
structural changes and our ESG aspirations

Given the cyclical nature of real estate, incentive structures 
within real estate businesses are highly outcome driven 
(particularly by private equity real estate managers where most 
institutional assets reside). Goodman’s capital and resource 
allocations shift over time, requiring rewards to be measured 
over longer periods. The Group’s remuneration framework is 
therefore focused on influencing long-term decision making 
and collaboration across business units and international 
operations to derive sustainable outcomes.

There are several key principles of remuneration at Goodman:

+  Focus on LTI as the predominant source of pay for 

performance across the Group. All employees are eligible to 
receive LTI grants as a material component of remuneration 
and are tested using challenging hurdles without encouraging 
inappropriate risk (see section 3.8.6), enhancing alignment 
of rewards across the Group with Securityholders

+  Aligning the deliverable outcomes of all employees 

globally, with Goodman’s aspirations of long-term cash 
flow growth, resilience, and sustainability. This is practically 
achieved through the focus on operating profit (which is 
closely aligned with cash profits) as the primary testing 
measure for LTI awards (see section 3.8.5)

lifecycle of the asset even for new developments which 
allow further intensification or change of use at a later 
time. This sometimes comes at the expense of short-term 
performance; however, this approach is consistent with 
the Group’s strategic objectives and provides future value 
realisation potential, over significant time periods

+ 

Increased focus on ESG and integration of these aspirations 
into the Group’s operational activities similarly requires 
significant time periods (often beyond five years) for 
implementation. Goodman’s approach to community, 
environmental sustainability and wellbeing are all long-term 
aspirations aligned with the financial sustainability objectives.

In the Board’s view, the long-term nature of the structural 
trends impacting our sector and Goodman’s approach to real 
estate investment in relation to this, necessitates refinements 
to the LTIP for future awards.

Consequently, the Board has made changes to the LTI awards 
that will be made in FY22. For the Group CEO, executive KMP 
and senior executives this includes:

+  Extending the testing period to four years (from three years)

+  Significantly increasing the vesting period to ten years 

(from five years)

+ 

Increasing the difficulty of the testing and vesting 
thresholds for both operating EPS and Relative TSR

+  Collaboration to achieve Group-wide targets across 

+  Adding environmental and sustainability hurdles to the 

regions and business units

vesting conditions.

+  A culture of ownership, inclusion and alignment, where all 
Goodman’s people experience investment returns aligned 
with Securityholders.

Goodman’s business has evolved significantly over the past 
12 years since the introduction of the LTIP. The Group’s 
increased focus on urban infill markets has led to significantly 
longer development horizons, realisation of urban regeneration 
and change of use of existing assets. In summary:

+  Site acquisition and value add to existing stabilised sites, 
typically require five to ten year (and sometimes longer) 
time frames to achieve highest and best use and urban 
regeneration outcomes

The Board believes increasing the LTIP testing period and 
the significant lengthening of the vesting period for the senior 
executives in the organisation, will further influence decision 
making and more closely align with the time periods required 
to deliver superior operational results on a sustainable basis. 
It also provides sufficient time scale to implement key ESG 
initiatives and achieve the Group’s targets, particularly in relation 
to environmental and sustainability objectives, in a manner that 
creates alignment with the outcomes for Securityholders.

The existing LTIP is already inclusive across the organisation 
and spans over five years. It will remain in place for all eligible 
employees who do not participate in the new ten year plan 
and will be enhanced to include hurdles aligned with the ten 
year plan.

Real estate investment management and development are cyclical, 
so fixed employee costs are kept low. Most KMP fixed remuneration 
has not grown in several years.

STI is an at-risk component, rewarding financial and non-financial 
performance against objectives of the individual and the Group. 
Awards have varied from 0% to 100% of the maximum over time and 
have declined over the past five years to 66% in FY21, in favour of LTI. 
Base salaries for the executive KMP roles are set low versus peers and 
this is carried through in lower STI outcomes for relevant KMP.
The performance of individuals is assessed through a performance 
appraisal process based on contribution to strategic, financial, operational 
and ESG objectives, while also reflecting behavioural expectations. 
Financial performance is the primary measure in determining the maximum 
level of STI for the individual; however, this can be penalised if behavioural 
standards or ESG targets are not met or breached (up to 100% of STI 
for certain measures). These factors together encourage not only the 
operating EPS targets being met but also that the method in which they 
are met matches appropriate risk and governance settings. This structure 
is simple and transparent and aligns management with the operating 
EPS growth and ESG expectations of Securityholders.

The weighting to LTI is believed to be the most effective way of rewarding 
sustained performance and retaining talent whilst maintaining alignment 
with Securityholders’ interests.
Hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging without encouraging 
inordinate risk (see sections 3.8.5 and 3.8.6) relative to external and 
internal reference points.
The relative TSR and operating EPS hurdles interact as TSR impacts the 
value of all performance rights. Given the significant skew in remuneration 
to performance rights, the impact of the TSR hurdle is greater than its 
25% weighting in that TSR provides an effective check against increasing 
risk or unsustainable practices within the Group. The price to earnings 
multiple attributable to securities will reflect the risk in achieving operating 
EPS targets, which impacts the likelihood of vesting and the ultimate value 
upon vesting.
The total number of performance rights outstanding under the LTIP 
equates to 3.7% of the Group’s issued securities. The maximum 
number of performance rights under the LTIP is limited to 5% of the 
Group’s issued securities.
Encourages a collaborative approach and broader distribution of 
remuneration across the entire workforce when the Group is performing.

Annual Report 2021

2.3  Remuneration mix and alignment across the Group

FY21 vested remuneration outcome

The Board believes that the alignment between pay and 
long-term performance is evidenced by the significant 
proportion of the total remuneration that is at risk for 
the Group CEO, the other executive KMP and the whole 
organisation. In respect of the Group CEO, all of his ‘at risk’ 
remuneration is in the form of LTI.

This point is demonstrated in the charts below that consider 
the vested remuneration received during FY21. Vested 
remuneration represents the value that is received during 
the year. It includes fixed base pay, STI and the value of 
performance rights that vested during the year (from prior 
grants) using the closing Goodman security price on the day 
of vesting.

The ‘at risk’ remuneration (FY21 STI and LTI performance 
rights that vested on 1 September 2020) forms a significant 
proportion of total vested remuneration for all employees, but 
especially for the Group CEO and the other executive KMP. 
The Board believes that this demonstrates the alignment 
of the remuneration outcomes for the Group CEO with the 
outcomes for Securityholders, who have experienced very 
strong performance in recent years. Had the Securityholder 
returns been lower, the level of ‘at risk’ remuneration would 
have been lower and fixed remuneration would have made up 
a greater proportion of the total vested remuneration in FY21 
for all employees, but especially for the Group CEO and the 
other executive KMP.

of the business, the penalty applies to the 
number of performance rights that have

The Board also notes that:

+  There are no changes to fixed remuneration levels for executive KMP in FY22

+ 

 As in previous years the Group CEO will not participate in the STI award or any other form of variable cash remuneration 
(comparatively, the ASX 100 average fixed pay plus STI is approximately 50% of total remuneration)

+  87% of the Group CEO’s remuneration for his FY21 performance will be taken in the form of performance rights.

  Under the new ten year plan and with the above remuneration structure: 

+  The Group CEO would not receive any performance-based reward in respect of his performance for FY21 if the Group does 

not meet its minimum performance hurdles under the LTIP over the next four years (measured at 30 June 2025)

+ 

 The ultimate value of the award will be subject to Goodman’s security price performance and will only be fully realised over 
the ten years to the 2032 financial year.

3.2  Setting awards for the Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and executive KMP

When assessing the Group CEO’s and other executive KMP remuneration for FY21, the Board has given consideration to:

+  The structure of the awarded remuneration

+  Goodman’s relative performance amongst global peers and operational targets for FY21

+  Goodman’s consistent track record over the past ten years that has also positioned the business for the future

+  Global market conditions for human capital in the sector.

The Board is firstly focused on creating a remuneration structure that supports the Group’s strategy and is aligned with 
outcomes for Securityholders and then on determining an appropriate quantum of remuneration under that structure.

On this basis, the Board has considered the outcomes for Securityholders, based on the testing criteria under the ten year plan 
and the ‘pay for performance’ alignment with all Goodman employees (all permanent employees, approximately 930 people, are 
eligible). As demonstrated below, before any performance awards are realised under the ten year plan, significant Securityholder 
value is required to be created (all other things equal, that equates to $12 billion in market capitalisation growth, consistent with 
>31% TSR over the period, based on the assumptions set out in the table below). If full vesting occurs, based on all other things 
remaining equal, $22 billion of Securityholder value will have been created and this would result in approximately 50% TSR (based 
on the assumptions below) and the employee’s share of this would be approximately 3%. Returns are net to Securityholders as 
operating EPS calculations driving the growth in value account for the full dilution of the plan over the testing period.

Notes: 
1.  Assumes that the proportion of rights that vest under the operating EPS hurdle also applies to the rights that vest under the relative TSR hurdle.
2. 

 Based on 30 June 2021 security price, assuming the market Price/Earnings (P/E) multiple applied to operating EPS remains unchanged over time and is inclusive of 
an allowance for increases in the securities on issue because of securities vesting under the LTIP. Excludes distributions and dividend payments that may be made 
during the period.

3.  Assumes constant P/E multiple at the end of year 4 and the relevant CAGR in operating EPS growth.
4. 

 Values the number of vested securities at the assumed security price which is calculated using the 30 June 2021 value and growing it at the same rate as the 
operating EPS growth. 

The maximum employee share of the value created will occur if the awards fully vest through reaching the cumulative 10% 
CAGR in operating EPS after four years and the relative TSR performance is at the 90th percentile. This represents only 3.4% 
of the $20.6 billion value potentially created for Securityholders or the 46.4% potential security price growth (all other things 
being equal). If growth exceeds 10% per annum and the security price grows beyond the assumption above, the employees will 
receive greater rewards in absolute terms, but their share diminishes relative to Securityholders. 

Based on the reduction in economic value (as detailed in section 4) of performance rights issued under the ten year plan, 
additional performance rights will be awarded to maintain the same economic value compared with what would otherwise have 
been awarded under the five year plan. However, under the proposed grants, the increase in units issued, if 100% vesting for 
both the relative TSR and operating EPS rights are achieved, would only result in approximately 0.2% additional operating 
EPS dilution to Securityholders, which is spread over a further five years. The Board believes that the benefits of alignment and 
securing senior executives over a significantly longer period of time, as a result of the ten year plan, outweighs this relatively 
small dilution to Securityholders which only occurs should the hurdles be met.

For these reasons, the Board has concluded that the structure of the Goodman LTIP is aligned with the business strategy and 
Securityholder returns.

3.3  Considerations for award quantum

3.4  Valuation of performance rights (Economic Value)

Given the variability in the components of remuneration 
structures in the market, Goodman’s comparator group 
analysis of value and quantum of awards must be considered 
in the context of the degree of risk associated with the 
structures and the vesting periods.

The Board has set the hurdles in respect of the intended LTI 
award for FY22 to achieve a significant degree of alignment 
with Securityholder outcomes and to provide substantial 
challenges (and risk of achievement) for the executive 
KMP. This is reflected in the ten year plan for the Group 
CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives (with 
four year testing and ten year vesting). The alignment and 
challenges are also reflected in the five year plan, which 
will be maintained for remaining employees (with three year 
testing and five year vesting). In comparison, ASX 300 listed 
companies’ long-term incentives average approximately three 
years and generally are only for a few senior executives. In 
addition, performance rights awarded under the LTIP do not 
have any voting rights or rights to dividends until vested, even 
after passing testing hurdles.

While the face value (represented by the current security 
price multiplied by the number of performance rights granted) 
provides an indication of potential value of the grant at a 
point in time, it does not consider absolute or subjective 
criteria in achieving the awards nor the skew to remuneration 
that is at risk. The face value measure does not allow for 
direct comparison when assessing the different risk profiles 
associated with the vesting hurdles and substantially longer 
vesting periods. Having regard to these factors, the Board 
considers it both appropriate and necessary to consider the 
economic value of awards and consequently performance 
rights under both the five year and, even more importantly, to 
assessing the ten year plan.

The Board has determined its LTI awards for KMP on the basis that 
the hurdles, testing and vesting requirements under the ten year 
plan are significantly more onerous relative to the LTI awarded in 
the prior year under the five year plan. The awards under the ten 
year plan require higher returns over a longer period and include 
additional environmental and sustainability hurdles (see section 
3.8.6 on proposed FY21 LTIP operating EPS grant targets).

The economic value of performance rights in particular, and 
remuneration structures in general, have taken into account:

+ 

+ 

 The composition of remuneration, taking into consideration 
the proportion of cash versus conditional equity

 An appropriate discount to allow for the lower probability of 
vesting given the increase to a four year testing period and 
the more challenging hurdles/thresholds set by the Board

+  A further discount for time value of money differential given 

the vesting of the rights occurs over ten years.

Valuation methodology

The Board engaged an international accounting firm and 
two investment banks to assist it in the determination of the 
economic value of the performance rights. A Black Scholes 
approach was applied having regard, among other things, to:

+  The probability of achieving the TSR and EPS vesting 
criteria, and the associated impact that this has on the 
expected vesting outcome

+  Expectations with respect to the Group’s security price 

(including growth and volatility) and distribution payments

+  The time value of money applied through a discount rate.  

A number of different methods were considered to determine 
the appropriate discount rate. The Board resolved that a 
discount rate based on observable expected returns provided 
the best estimate for the cost of equity of the Group over a 
time period consistent with the LTIP. This can be calculated 
based on the current earnings of the Group and its expected 
growth rate over the foreseeable period. These factors can 
be reliably measured based on available market information 
and are most closely aligned with Securityholder return 
expectations over the relevant period.  

As a result, the Board has adopted a 12.5% discount rate. 
Applying this discount rate and the other key inputs results in an 
assessed economic value per right of $6.10 for the ten year plan.

Note that this economic value assessment does not include 
any discount factor to take account of the additional 
environmental and sustainability objectives, which if not met, 
will reduce the amount of performance rights that vest. 

Other relevant considerations

The Board and Remuneration Committee have considered the 
entire enterprise of the Group and its Partnerships globally, when 
assessing the executive’s roles and remuneration awards.

In this context, Goodman:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Is an international real estate fund manager

  Reported $2.3 billion statutory profit, and a combined 
statutory profit across the Group and Partnerships of  
$6.7 billion in FY21

 Delivered $5.8 billion in valuation growth across the Group 
and Partnerships in FY21

 Is the largest listed specialist developer of logistics real 
estate in the world, with $10.6 billion of work in progress

 Manages and creates value across of $57.9 billion of 
assets globally

 Manages capital allocation and funding across various 
activity types, which is sourced from multiple sophisticated 
markets and jurisdictions

+ 

 Has grown to $39.1 billion market capitalisation at 30 June 
2021 and is a member of the S&P/ASX 20 index

38

+ 

+ 

 Generates 68% of operating earnings from management 
and development activities which require more intensive 
day to day activity than a passive investment portfolio

 Provides its customers and partners with investment 
management, asset management, development, financial, 
transaction and capital management services in the listed 
and private equity capital markets globally

+ 

 Derives 71% of operating earnings from international markets 
with approximately 70% of employees situated offshore.

The Group has limited direct comparable market peers in 
Australia, having operating businesses in five continents and 
14 countries, each with market driven remuneration outcomes. 
The Group has 941 employees at 30 June 2021, the majority 
of whom are offshore, and consequently Goodman competes 
for labour in an international market, which the Board 
considers when assessing the quantum of remuneration 
awards. In FY21, the Board has set this by reference to:

+ 

+ 

  A range of local and global comparators with operations 
of similar scale and complexity and certain companies in 
the ASX 20

  Private equity (PE) firms. Noting that PE firms are 
significant players in the logistics real estate sector with 
considerable new capital with a desire to assemble teams 
and invest in the sector. PE remuneration is particularly 
relevant because (1) the nature of pay for performance 
remuneration structures is highly equity based and 
outcome-driven similar to Goodman’s remuneration 
structure and (2) the period of testing and realisation 
of remuneration is linked to investor outcomes over 
significant periods up to ten years, again similar to 
Goodman’s remuneration structure. The majority of the 
Group’s assets are within PE (unlisted) market entities, 
which in turn creates significant competition for high 
quality people.

In the Board’s view, the competitive environment for logistics 
assets and consequently teams with skills to develop and 
manage the products and services over the long term, has 
intensified significantly over the past 18 months. Goodman is 
seen as a global leader in this space and the potential loss of key 
employees and regional teams poses significant commercial risk. 
The Board has assessed the FY21 awards in this context.

Under the Group CEO’s proposed FY22 LTI award, the Board 
has again considered the range of outcomes that are possible 
and the Securityholder returns that accompany them.

On the basis of the estimated economic values of the total 
remuneration outlined (noting the proposed LTI awards with 
longer testing period, longer vesting period and significantly 
larger portion at risk) and considering the market capitalisation 
and performance differentials of the groups below, it is 
considered that an appropriate benchmark for the Group 
CEO’s remuneration is around A$15 million. Despite this, the 
Board has agreed a value of A$10.9 million in respect of his 
performance in FY21.

In conjunction with the appropriate quantum, the Board views the alignment of outcomes for the Group CEO (and executive 
KMP) as a primary consideration in setting awards and ties to the thresholds and vesting conditions in order to create a system 
in which competitive returns accrue to Securityholders in order for performance based pay to be triggered.

3.6  Non-financial measures

3.6.2 Integration of non-financial measures into STI

3.6.1 Types of non-financial measures

Goodman continues to increase accountability and transparency 
across a range of non-financial measures which are important 
to the Group culture, its stakeholders and the world more 
broadly. These are integral components to the operations 
of the organisation, the health and wellbeing of the Group’s 
people and the communities in which Goodman operates.

These values and aspirations encompass a wide range of 
areas including:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

  Environmental considerations for developments and 
building operations

  Energy procurement including renewable targets

  Group emissions and embodied emissions

  Health and wellbeing of Goodman’s people and communities

  Good corporate and social governance including diversity 
and inclusion in the workforce

+ 

  Behaviour in line with Goodman’s Code of Conduct.

All of these aspirations are integrated into Goodman’s culture and 
business operations and the Group’s financial results are achieved 
while also implementing and performing to these standards.

The way employees conduct themselves is crucial to 
the success of the Group. Goodman has consistent and 
transparent practices in place for managing non-compliance 
with policies and the approach to risk guides the way all 
employees are expected to conduct themselves. Within the 
Code of Conduct, there is a set of eight guiding principles that 
encourage employees to uphold Goodman’s reputation and 
behave appropriately in dealing with our customers and other 
team members. The guiding principles are:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

  Act in a professional manner

  Work as a team and respect others

  Treat stakeholders fairly

  Value honesty and integrity

  Follow the law and our policies

  Respect confidentiality and do not misuse information

  Manage conflicts of interest

  Strive to be a great team member.

Individual’s behaviour and adherence to the code of conduct, 
governance, implementation of diversity principles and 
social programs is assessed as a gate to STI and LTI awards. 
Breaches can also result in forfeiture of LTI or potentially more 
stern consequences depending on severity.

In respect of the FY21 STI awards and the intended LTI 
awards that will be made in September 2021 (in respect of 
FY21 performance), key environmental and sustainability 
targets will also be assessed based on the individual’s areas 
of influence and contributions as part of overall assessment.

3.6.3 Integration of non-financial measures into LTI

The Board also believes that ownership through the 
LTIP embeds a culture of inclusion and sense of place in 
Goodman and that this has been strongly reflected in the 
Group’s performance over many years and particularly 
through COVID-19. While behaviour and adherence to the 
Group’s Code of Conduct has always been a prerequisite 
to entitlement to vested LTI, for future LTI awards, starting 
with the intended awards in September 2021, the Board will 
incorporate an additional hurdle for vesting, related to our 
environmental and sustainability targets.

+ 

+ 

   The Board will set annual targets which form a subset of 
the Group’s long-term and publicly available environmental 
and sustainability targets and measure performance 
against these each year

  Environmental and sustainability objectives and their 
execution are integrated into the operations of the Group, 
particularly for development projects. For this reason, 
the additional penalty criteria will apply to the operating 
EPS tested performance rights. This aligns operational 
targets which are within the control of senior executives 
and employees at all levels and therefore have the most 
logical connection to operational performance

+ 

  Targets set by Board will be tested annually and at the 
end of year four

+  The penalty applies to the number of performance 
rights that have satisfied the operating EPS hurdle 
with 20% maximum reduction in the event of material 
underperformance against targets

+  Targets will be reported each year in the remuneration report.

3.7  Short-term incentive

STI is a component of remuneration that is at risk. It is specific to achievement of financial and non-financial objectives.  
This structure is very transparent and aligns management with the operating EPS growth expectations of Securityholders.

Questions

Who is eligible to 
participate in the STI?

What is the form 
of the STI award?

What is the maximum 
award participants 
may earn?

How is the STI earned?

How is the individual 
STI award determined?

Is there malus/clawback?

All full-time and part-time permanent employees. 
The Group CEO agreed with the Board not to participate in the STI awards, to emphasise reward for long-term 
decision making across the organisation.
Nick Kurtis (Group Head of Equities), Michael O’Sullivan (Group Chief Risk Officer) and Nick Vrondas 
(Group Chief Financial Officer) have agreed with the Board to forgo varying portions of their STI awards in line 
with FY20 in exchange for LTI, to emphasise reward for long-term decision making across the organisation.

Cash. For executive KMP, 50% of the STI award is paid on finalisation of Goodman’s full year result. 
50% of the STI award is deferred and paid in cash after a period of 12 months and the deferred STI amount 
is subject to forfeiture under malus provisions (see below).

STI awards are capped at 150% of fixed remuneration for executive KMP. Target STI for individuals is also 
compared to market based remuneration data and their manager’s own assessment of what an appropriate 
level of incentive compensation may be relative to the long-term value that person brings to the Group.

The Board sets budget targets for the business annually. These targets are set relative to the market conditions, 
earnings visibility, financial structure and strategy and are believed to be challenging and appropriate. 
STI for all staff is subject to: (1) meeting behavioural expectations under the Group Code of Conduct; and 
(2) achieving operating EPS (based on the annual forecast for the relevant year) (3) financial and operational 
assessment (4) assessment against environmental and sustainability targets.

STI rewards annual performance against objectives of the individual and the Group.
The Group objectives include multiple factors as set from time to time, dependent on the market and strategy 
of the Group. Overall Group financial performance relative to targets is the primary assessment, overlaid with 
required achievement against environmental and sustainability objectives and adherence to the Group’s core values. 
The Remuneration Committee looks at conduct and specific judgements are made in relation to this.
The performance of individuals is assessed through a detailed and formal performance appraisal process based 
on contribution to defined objectives, behavioural expectations, annual contribution to results as well as strategic 
and other contributions where these results or benefits may be reflected in future years.

The executive KMP STI awards are subject to 50% deferral for 12 months from the date of publication of Goodman’s 
financial statements. This deferral period provides protection from malus. The Board has discretion to forfeit deferred 
amounts for material misstatement, fraud or adverse changes that would have affected the award where there is 
executive responsibility.

Is STI deferred into equity? No. A much greater portion of remuneration for executive KMP is in the form of LTI (equity) than arguably any other 

S&P/ASX 100 entity and hence they are already significantly more aligned with Securityholders’ outcomes than 
executives at other listed entities. As a result, in the Board’s view, there is little further benefit in deferring STI into equity.

What happens to 
STI upon termination?

For all executive KMP, the deferred portion of STI award is subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where 
employees are dismissed for cause without notice (e.g. fraud or serious misconduct) or resign from the organisation. 
The Board has discretion to pay deferred STI in exceptional circumstances, where employees leave the Group, with 
good leaver status, due to certain personal circumstances or due to permanent disablement or death.

3.8  Long-term incentive

The LTIP is an equity plan where rewards are at risk of performance and time. It is open to all permanent employees to create 
alignment with the interests of Securityholders over the long term.

+ 

+ 

+ 

  No value is derived from LTI unless minimum performance hurdles of operating EPS and relative TSR are met or exceeded, 
and performance rights have no entitlement to income or assets until they vest.

  If performance achieves or exceeds long-term targets and performance rights vest, LTI represents the majority of 
remuneration for executive KMP and becomes a material component of remuneration for all participating employees.

  In FY22 a ten year plan will be introduced for the Group CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives. Key differences 
to the previous five year plan are explained in section 3.1 and the key terms of both plans are set out below.

3.8.1 FY22 LTI awards (five and ten year plans)

Questions in relation to grants to be made in FY22

Who is eligible 
to participate?

What is the form 
of the award?

What is the maximum 
LTI participants 
may earn?

All full-time and part-time permanent employees are eligible to participate in either the five year or the ten year 
plans. Executive KMP and senior executives participate in the ten year plan.

The LTIP awards performance rights linked to the underlying ASX listed securities. The performance rights do not 
receive distributions or have any right to income net assets or voting until vesting.

When considering the overall size of LTI awards, the Board also considers the number of securities that could 
vest and the associated impact on the operating EPS growth. The total five year and ten year performance rights 
outstanding under the LTIP are capped at 5% of issued capital with vesting of approximately 1% per annum, 
assuming all hurdles are met and all employees remain employed. The Board considers the performance of the 
Group in comparison with the comparator group, the amount of overall operating profit, the competitive nature of 
the global labour markets where Goodman operates and the value of the team in the local and global marketplace, 
as appropriate.

How is the number 
of rights determined?

The Board sets quantum based on a number of factors described in section 3. The number of rights is then 
determined by dividing the LTI award amount by the economic value per right, as determined by the Board.

What are the 
performance measures?

Behaviour in accordance with Goodman’s core values is an absolute requirement for the granting of performance 
rights and a minimum hurdle for LTI awards to vest as continued employment is a pre-condition. 
The Board believes that the commercial decisions Goodman makes in fulfilment of its overall financial objectives 
are best reflected in two key indicators: operating EPS and TSR (relative to the S&P/ASX 100).
Operating EPS is a critical measure of long-term global performance of the operations (see section 3.8.5).
The hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging relative to external and internal historical and prospective 
reference points (see section 3.8.6).
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group i.e. the security price to 
earnings multiple will reflect the perceived risk in the Group in achieving operating EPS targets.
Focus on LTI is an efficient way of rewarding sustained performance and retaining talent.
FY22 LTI awards, will incorporate environmental and sustainability targets, in addition to the operating EPS and 
relative TSR hurdles. Targets set by the Board will be tested annually and at the end of the LTIP testing period. 
A penalty applies to the number of performance rights that have satisfied the operating EPS hurdle, with 20% 
maximum reduction if material underperformance against the environmental and sustainability targets occur.

What is the weighting?

75% operating EPS hurdle

25% relative TSR hurdle

What is the 
performance period?

How do the 
LTIP awards vest?

Ten year plan: both operating EPS and relative TSR performance are tested over four financial years starting 
from 1 July in the year the grant was made. Operating EPS growth is assessed in the fourth year relative to the 
year preceding the year of the grant. Environmental and sustainability targets are tested annually and at the 
end of year four.
Five year plan: both operating EPS and relative TSR performance are tested over three financial years starting 
from 1 July in the year the grant was made. Operating EPS growth is assessed in the third year relative to the 
year preceding the year of the grant. Environmental and sustainability targets are tested annually and at the end 
of year three.

Ten year plan: Subject to meeting performance hurdles, vesting occurs in equal tranches shortly after the end 
of years 4-10, provided participants remain employed by the Group.
Five year plan: Subject to meeting performance hurdles, vesting occurs in equal tranches shortly after the end 
of years 3-5, provided participants remain employed by the Group.

Is there malus/clawback?

Subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where employees are dismissed for cause without notice 
(e.g. fraud or serious misconduct). LTI will also be forfeited where employees cease to be employed, unless in 
Special Circumstances.

What happens to LTIP 
awards upon termination?

Performance rights lapse upon the employee leaving Goodman unless in Special Circumstances (primarily 
Death, TPD, Redundancy and Retirement (at retirement age) in which case they are not subject to the employment 
requirement and vest subject to performance hurdles being met and the usual timetable. The Board may determine 
acceleration in exceptional circumstances if considered appropriate.

What rights are attached 
to the performance rights?

Executive KMP 
equity holding

Performance rights have no Securityholder rights prior to vesting (e.g. distributions, voting, rights issue participation).

Executive KMP are required to hold 100% of the value of their fixed remuneration in Goodman securities, determined 
at time of purchase. The requirement will apply from 1 October 2021. In addition, Goodman’s remuneration structure 
includes significant emphasis on performance-based remuneration in equity and the overall exposure of KMP 
to Goodman securities extends significantly beyond this requirement principally through participation in the LTIP.

Questions specific to outstanding historic grants made between FY17 and FY19

What are the vesting 
conditions for prior grants 
(FY17 to FY19) currently 
outstanding?

Operating EPS tested (75% of grant)
Operating EPS awards are subject to achievement 
of a cumulative operating EPS hurdle, which is the 
combination of three years’ individual operating EPS 
hurdles. This ensures that the appropriate balance 
between short and long-term challenges is incorporated. 
With the vast majority of remuneration through LTI, the 
focus remains on sustainable performance.
Targets are disclosed to the market each year and are 
equal to the forecast operating EPS. For FY21, this is 
62.7 cents as it relates to the FY19 award. Performance 
conditions for the FY17 and FY18 awards which have 
outstanding tranches, have already been tested. See 
section 4.4.3. for details of testing results for FY19 awards.

3.8.5  Operating EPS – long-term cash flow alignment 

+ 

with vesting outcomes

The Group presents statutory profit in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards, including all required 
disclosures. The Board believes that managing the business, 
on what is primarily a cash profit basis, is fundamental to 
long-term resilience and is the strongest determinant of value 
creation for Securityholders over time. That is the intent of 
the Group’s operating profit definition and it is one of the 
key measures used to drive the business strategy that is 
communicated to Goodman’s employees to execute. This 
is also why the Board has used operating EPS as one of the 
principal targets in its awards of both STI and LTI.

Calculation of operating EPS

Operating EPS has been calculated and applied consistently 
since being adopted in 2005.

+ 

+ 

  Operating profit intentionally excludes non-cash measures. 
Previously, the Group has excluded significant realised 
gains (such as the urban renewal realisation gains) where 
these were believed to be cyclical in nature and not 
reflective of underlying long-term earnings.

  As required under the accounting standards, the 
share-based payments (SBP) expense in the Group’s 
statutory income statement reflects the amortisation of 
the aggregated fair value applicable to the outstanding 
performance rights. Given the volatility inherent in the 
accounting valuation of the performance rights, the SBP 
expense is excluded from operating profit, like other 
non-cash items (such as revaluations). Instead, the Board 
believes the cost of the plan, which arises from the future 
dilution through the issuance of securities under the LTIP, 
is most appropriately reflected by including all vested and 
tested performance rights in the denominator used for 
determining operating EPS.

+ 

 The operating EPS at each reporting date is calculated using 
the weighted average number of securities, which includes:

–  all securities that have already vested

–   rights that have been tested and assessed as having 

met the hurdles but have not yet vested.

The inclusion of these unvested performance rights in the 
operating EPS calculation is a conservative treatment as:

+ 

+ 

 The financial impact of the performance rights occurs 
only when securities are issued through the dilution to net 
assets at the time of issuance and the dilution to future 
operating EPS

 Not all performance rights necessarily vest. This can 
only occur if testing criteria are met and by extension, 
the Group’s performance has achieved or exceeded 
performance criteria, which doesn’t necessarily align with 
SBP expense

Annual Report 2021

 Following successful testing at years three or four, 
performance rights still have no entitlement to income 
(distributions) or net assets nor do they have any of the other 
usual Securityholder rights until they vest, which may be up 
to six years later (under the ten year plan).

Therefore, in the Board’s view realised cash profit as represented 
by diluted operating EPS is the most reliable measure of value 
creation for Securityholders and continues to be an appropriate 
means by which to assess employee performance. It is also 
consistent with the predominant method of valuation of 
Goodman by the market.

Notwithstanding this, the Board notes that using the Group’s 
statutory profit instead of operating profit as the basis for the 
earnings hurdle under the LTIP would have had no impact on 
the future vesting of those performance rights that were tested 
at June 2021. It would, however, have materially increased the 
volatility of the Group’s earnings.

Use of Phantoms

In certain jurisdictions, it is impractical to issue performance 
rights which vest into Goodman securities. In these instances, 
‘Phantom’ performance rights are issued, with the same 
economic outcome, but with the intent to be cash settled on 
vesting. From time to time, the Group may issue new securities 
into the market to fund the settlement of those rights. This results 
in the same outcome to Securityholders as if the Phantoms 
had been settled in Goodman securities because it results in 
the situation where the dilutionary impact to operating EPS is 
consistent with the equity settled performance rights. As in recent 
years, the Board’s current intention is to issue securities to fund 
the cash requirements to settle the Phantoms. This results in the 
effective funding of the LTIP having no cash impact for the Group 
and as a consequence the share based payments expense 
remains effectively a non-cash item in the context of the definition 
of operating profit.

3.8.6   Operating EPS hurdles for proposed ten year plan 

awards to the Group CEO, executive KMP and other 
senior executives

The operating EPS target range under the ten year plan is for 
the purpose of remuneration only, specifically the testing criteria 
for vesting of performance rights. The range does not constitute 
earnings guidance for the Group.

The Board has set an operating EPS performance hurdle for 
FY22 of growing operating EPS from the FY21 result of 65.6 
cents to between 82.8 cents (Threshold level) and 96.0 cents 
(Upper level) in FY25. At the Threshold level, 25% satisfy the 
hurdle with a sliding scale up to 100% satisfying the hurdle at 
the Upper level. This range is equivalent to between 6% and 
10% CAGR in operating EPS or approximately 26% to 46% 
cumulative over the four year testing period. Notwithstanding 
Goodman achieved operating EPS growth in excess of 10% in 
FY20 and FY21 performance at the upper level is considered 
significantly challenging over four years and in the Board’s view is 
likely to be achieved only after exceptional performance.

47

 
 
 
Goodman Group

Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)

The range has been set with particular reference to:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 A significant proportion of the Group’s revenue over the next four years, particularly in regard to development activities, is at 
risk and uncontracted

 The range of potential real estate opportunities for the Group globally, given the Group’s risk parameters and concentrated locations

 The long-run historical performance of the Group, noting that previous history is not a reflection of future earnings

 The global economic environment, noting the uncertainty around ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on global economies, that the 
current rate of inflation in Australia and the major markets in which Goodman operates globally is around 0% to 1.5% per annum 
and the current ten year rate of interest on government securities in Australia and most major markets is <1.5% per annum.

The Board believes the higher FY22 hurdle is significantly more challenging given the current economic environment particularly given 
the extension of the testing period (and independently verified through the lower economic value of performance rights under the 
new plan). The hurdles are set for the entire period of the grant and hence performance must be achieved regardless of changes to 
business conditions globally. Management and other employees carry the risk associated with external factors negatively impacting 
operating earnings and in the Board’s view this risk has increased given the ongoing and unknown impacts of COVID-19.

The hurdles are set with the desire to achieve a sustainable long-term growth rate that is competitive with the market on a risk 
adjusted basis, reflecting the low financial leverage of Goodman and other risk settings particularly given the continued impact of the 
current global pandemic and economic environment. In the Board’s view, increasing hurdles to unsustainable levels would encourage 
riskier behaviour, inconsistent with an acceptable risk tolerance and framework and expectations of Securityholders. This could 
potentially lead to lower quality earnings and adversely affect the intent of the LTIP and ultimately Securityholder returns.

4. GROUP PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES
Despite the significant headwinds caused by the global pandemic, the Group has recorded another year of material 
outperformance, both relative to its external targets and its internal operational targets. Goodman’s security price performance 
in FY21 continued to be significantly ahead of its peer groups, following ten years of outperformance.

The Group’s remuneration strategy focused on long-term outcomes is the key driver of this sustained performance.

4.1 Group FY21 highlights

Financial

Statutory profit of $2,311.9 million for Goodman and $6,722.6 million for the combined Group and Partnerships

Operating profit of $1,219.4 million (up 15.0% on FY20)

Operating EPS of 65.6 cents (up 14.1% on FY20)

Maintained distribution of 30.0 cents per security

Net tangible assets (NTA) per security increased 14.4% to $6.68 per security

Operational property investment, management and development

High occupancy maintained at 98% and like for like net property income growth of 3.2%

Total AUM of $57.9 billion (up 12.0% on FY20)

Significant outperformance by the 16 Partnerships achieving average returns of 17.7%

Development WIP (end value) increased to $10.6 billion and with 96% commitment levels on completions 
and 13 year weighted average lease terms

People and culture

Social investment of approximately $6 million by the Goodman Foundation and through efforts of employees worldwide

Female senior roles up from 23% in FY20 to 30% in FY21. Goodman continues to work towards 40% females in senior 
roles by 2030 and 50/50 representation overall by 2030

Expansion of Goodman’s supply chain ethics towards a global supplier code of conduct increasing the focus 
on human rights and potential modern slavery 

Strong focus to employees on reinforcing behaviours that are consistent with the Group’s values

Feedback from employees via surveys undertaken in FY21 indicates strong communication and employee engagement

Environmental

Goodman’s global operations achieved carbon neutrality and certified as a Carbon Neutral Organisation 

Transitioned to 100% certified GreenPower secured for Goodman’s Australian operations from 1 July 2021, increasing 
 Goodman’s global renewable energy usage to over 60%

Approximately 125MW of solar PV now installed or committed across the global portfolio, an increase of 70MW in FY21

Commenced calculating the embodied emissions of all of Goodman’s logistics developments globally and established 
a framework for integration into approval processes as we transition to carbon neutral developments

Capital management

Maintained significant available liquidity at $1.9 billion, including $0.9 billion in cash 

Significant business growth while maintaining low gearing at 6.8%

Group and Partnerships completed debt refinancing transactions totalling $5.4 billion

Goodman Group

Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued) 

Over the past decade, the Group has established teams with 
significant specialist expertise, financial resources, and a 
strategic real estate portfolio. It has deliberately positioned its 
business to maximise cash flow resilience in varying market 
cycles, primarily through:

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Concentration of the portfolio on logistics real estate in 
urban infill markets, where supply is limited, and demand is 
driven by consumers

 Deleveraging the Group’s balance sheet and retaining 
significant liquidity

 Partnering with long-term capital to share risk and return 
over a significant globally diversified platform.

This has included specific actions over successive years, including:

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Significant reduction in financial leverage (gearing) over the 
last twelve years from 47.9% to 6.8% and maintained low 
leverage in the past few years

 Increased quality of the property portfolio through over 
$27 billion of asset sales since 2013 concentrating 
the portfolio in predominantly urban infill markets and 
providing funding for the development of new buildings

 Established an international platform with significant 
depth of experience required to generate excess returns 
in competitive high barrier to entry markets

+  Diversification of the Group’s sources of debt and tenor

+ 

+ 

 Reduced operational risk through undertaking more 
development activity in Partnerships, which has reduced 
volatility of earnings while increasing return on assets for 
the Group. The impact of increased development within the 
Partnerships has increased their returns and the prospects 
for Goodman to earn performance fees in the medium to 
longer term

 Significant sales of assets that were reconfigured for 
higher and better residential use. For these transactions, 
the substantial profit was not included in operating profit 
despite being cash realised gains as they were believed 
to be over and above the usual course of business

+ 

 Maintained a conservative distribution pay-out ratio to 
retain funding for growing development activity.

Many of these strategic initiatives rely on foregoing some 
short-term returns to secure potentially larger long-term 
sustainable returns.

The resilience of the Group through this period is largely due 
to strategic long-term thinking, a highly talented team with 
specialist skills, and incentivising those employees through 
equity, linked to sustained operational performance over a 
long period.

Annual Report 2021

The key financial metrics which are aligned with the Group’s strategy, long-term performance and STI and LTI programs for all 
employees are operating EPS and relative TSR. CAGR in operating EPS over the past five years has been exceptional at 10.3%, 
which has exceeded the forecasts and therefore the hurdles. This has been achieved while at the same time reducing gearing, 
and not utilising the short-term benefits of low interest rates to financially engineer performance.

4.4  Remuneration outcomes for FY21

4.4.1 STI outcomes

The Board has again agreed with the Group CEO that he will not participate in the STI award. In line with continued focus on 
sustained long-term performance, all performance based remuneration relating to the Group CEO’s FY21 performance will be 
awarded in the form of performance rights.

Given the global nature of the Group’s operations the recommendations for each executive KMP are based on the Remuneration 
Committee’s review of several sources of market information relating to the individual’s role, region and global comparisons and 
specific incentive schemes that apply in competitor organisations.

Executive KMP STI outcomes (excluding the Group CEO), on average, are consistent with FY20 and down 27% over the past 
two years, (averaging 66% of the maximum potential versus 64% in FY20). This reflects the Board’s decision to focus reward in 
the form of LTI, particularly for the KMP whose roles have greater focus on overall Group strategy. The table below indicates the 
maximum possible STI and the actual STI awarded for FY21.

It should be noted that based on the Group and individual performances in FY21, KMP were eligible for the maximum STI.

4.4.2 ESG assessment

STI (and LTI) award grant assessments are undertaken with 
reflection on behaviour, governance, social, environmental 
and sustainability goals and targets. The Group has made 
significant contributions and efforts in a wide range of areas, 
with key highlights including:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Goodman’s global operations achieved carbon neutrality 
and certified as a Carbon Neutral Organisation by 
Climate Active 

 Approximately 125MW of solar PV installed and committed 
on Goodman’s rooftops globally, including an additional 
70MW in FY21

 Transition to 100% certified GreenPower secured for 
Goodman’s Australian operations from 1 July 2021, 
increasing Goodman’s global renewable energy usage 
to over 60%

 Commenced calculating the embodied emissions of all of 
Goodman’s logistics developments globally and established 
a framework for integration into approval processes as the 
Group transitions to carbon neutral developments

 Biodiversity initiatives underway including the 
establishment of urban forests across Goodman’s 
European operations

 Achieved Sector Leader in the 2020 Global Real Estate 
Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) for the Goodman 
Japan Partnership in the East Asia Distribution Warehouse 
peer group

 Smart irrigation technology in approximately 43% of the 
portfolio saving approximately 53% in water used on 
irrigation, or equivalent to 30 Olympic swimming pools

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Expansion of Goodman’s supply chain ethics towards a 
global supplier code of conduct increasing the focus on 
human rights and potential modern slavery

 Goodman Group’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial 
Disclosures (TCFD) statement completed and available on 
the Goodman Group website 

 Cutting edge sustainability design initiatives in our 
global development specifications including solar PV, 
electric vehicle charging points, LED lighting and drought 
tolerant landscaping

 $10 million EV incentive program launched to staff 
globally to assist in electric vehicle purchase over the 
next five years

 Contributed $6.3 million to community and philanthropic 
causes including $0.4 million raised directly by staff

 Results of the engagement surveys undertaken across 
various regions were pleasing with an average of 
approximately 85% positive responses. Key area to focus 
on is social interaction, given the dislocation of operations 
due to COVID-19.

Key areas of assessment for FY21 are detailed below. The form 
of disclosure below (subject to relevant evolution and changes 
over time as set by the Board) will be used as the basis for 
future assessment of environmental and sustainability measures 
which will be set and tested annually in conjunction with the 
assessment over the testing period for performance rights.

4.4.3  LTI outcomes

Testing as at 30 June 2021 was completed for the grants of performance rights made to executive KMP in respect of executive 
KMP performance in FY18 (called FY19 awards). These performance rights were tested over three years and vest in three equal 
tranches shortly after the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant. The FY19 awards had two hurdles: operating EPS and a 
relative TSR, both measured over the three years ended 30 June 2021.

The mechanics of the testing are detailed in section 3.8.

4.4.3.1  Operating EPS hurdle (75% weighting)

The operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating profit by the weighted average number of securities on issue adjusted to include 
all performance rights which have passed the testing criteria, even though they are not yet vested (issued) to account for potential EPS 
dilution. Operating EPS growth for the three year period to 30 June 2021 was 40.5%, compared to a cumulative target of 27.4%.

4.4.3.2  Relative TSR hurdle (25% weighting)

TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group, as the price to earnings multiple will reflect the 
perceived risk in the Group. Relative TSR is measured against the S&P/ASX 100 peer group. Vesting applies on a sliding scale:

+  0% vests up to and including the 50th percentile

+  Vesting of 50% starts at the 51st percentile on a sliding scale with 100% vesting at the 75th percentile.

Goodman posted a three year TSR of 128.9% to 30 June 2021, under the LTIP TSR calculation methodology. This ranked 
Goodman in the 92nd percentile against the S&P/ASX 100 and consequently 100% of these performance rights vested.

 Testing period for grant: 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021, in accordance with the LTIP the TSR is based on the 10 day VWAP at beginning and end of testing period and 
is therefore different from the three year TSR sourced from Bloomberg and presented elsewhere in this report.

As a result of satisfying 100% of the EPS hurdle and the relative TSR hurdle, a total of 16,012,338 equity settled performance rights will 
vest in September 2021, September 2022 and September 2023. In addition, 3,875,750 cash settled performance rights will also vest. 
The Group may elect to issue the equivalent number of new securities to satisfy those obligations in the future.

4.4.4  Group CEO achievements

In determining the Group CEO’s remuneration, the Board acknowledged his strong leadership through the challenges of 
COVID-19. It has also considered the following contributing factors and highlights:

Greg Goodman

Leadership

 + Developed and drove a consistent global business strategy across all markets to sustain the performance 

of the Group despite prolonged and significant challenges presented by COVID-19. The Group has adapted 
to these challenges and continues to outperform its own targets and the broader market performance, 
retaining employees and increasing community support and charitable programs.

 + He has positioned the busines as a leader in its field, managing, motivating and incentivising key personnel 

across the platform to perform in a highly competitive environment 

 + Fostered a culture that focused on delivering quality across all aspects of the business: people, properties 

and service

 + Lead global internal programs to promote a strong culture of inclusion, collaboration and conduct across 
the organisation, underpinned by the long-held principles in the Group’s Code of Conduct, treating all 
stakeholders with integrity, and accountability

 + Reinforced Goodman’s purpose aimed at understanding the drivers of change and the needs of customers 

and all stakeholders to support their future success.

Financial and risk

 + He has fostered continuity of strategy over successive years leading to outperformance over benchmark 

indices and comparator companies in FY21, and delivered strong and sustained TSR of 133.4% over three 
years and 235.9% over five years

 + Delivered:

–  Revaluation growth across the Group and Partnership of $5.8 billion
–   Statutory profit of $2,311.9 million (up 54%), driven by growth in property values as a result of asset 

selection over the past few years and operational activities such as development

–  Operating profit of $1,219.4 million, up 15% on FY20
–  Operating EPS of 65.6 cents, up 14% on FY20
–  NTA increased 14% to $6.68 per security

 + Exceeded earnings guidance in FY21 after posting significant outperformance in FY20 through the COVID-19 period
 + Drove a clearly defined capital management strategy with financial leverage 6.8% and maintained a strong 

Group balance sheet with $1.9 billion of liquidity

 + Integrated strong risk management approaches globally. 

Environment

 + Instrumental in significantly increasing the focus on ESG initiatives and programs throughout the Group and 

a culture which continually looks to improve Goodman’s impact on the world. In particular:
–  Establishing a zero carbon emissions target for the Group by 2025 and achieving it in FY21
–   Increasing the 2025 target for solar PV capacity installed on the rooftops of Goodman’s global portfolios 

Social and culture

and installed almost 80MW in FY21

–  Completing compliance with TCFD in FY21

 + Established a framework for measuring and assessing embodied carbon to transition to carbon 

neutral developments

 + Implemented an EV incentive scheme for staff globally to encourage a shift towards lower emissions vehicles.

 + Led the shift for all employees to increase alignment with Securityholders through the LTIP as the preferred form 
of remuneration by taking 100% of performance based remuneration in performance rights and working with the 
Board to implement the new ten year plan. 

 + Commenced new initiatives and Goodman Foundation commitments to enable it to meet its $50 million 2030 

social impact target. The Group CEO led initiatives that:
–   Contributed $6.3 million to community and philanthropic causes including $400,000 raised directly by staff. 
Expansion of Goodman’s supply chain ethics towards a global supplier Code of Conduct increasing the 
focus on human rights and potential modern slavery.

–   Enabled the Goodman team globally to contribute 5,360 hours to volunteering and community events 
through the year. The Goodman Foundation focuses on children and youth, community and its health, 
and food rescue and the environment

–   Through Goodman’s funding, food rescue partners have provided more than 197 million meals globally 

and made significant commitment to domestic violence prevention.

The charts below demonstrate the performance of the Group and various key metrics relative to the Group CEO’s vested remuneration 
outcomes in FY21 and prior years. They illustrate that the significant operating profit growth, security price growth and consequently 
returns for Securityholders over the testing periods, correlate with increased Group CEO remuneration over time. Given the strong 
increase in the market price of securities between the time of the grant and the time of vesting, the Group CEO (and all recipients of the 
LTIP) has participated in the performance alongside Securityholders.

Importantly, the Group CEO’s vested remuneration as a proportion of TSR (in $ billion) and statutory profit has trended lower 
over the past five years, indicating that the Securityholders have experienced a more than proportionate benefit from the 
Group’s performance relative to the Group CEO.

The table below includes awarded remuneration at grant date and the vested remuneration over the past five years for the Group 
CEO. The numbers in this table differ from the statutory disclosure in section 5 primarily due to the differences in the measurement 
and timing of recognition in respect of performance rights granted under the LTIP and not the final vesting outcome. The below 
figures show the base salary received by the Group CEO in the respective year plus the value of performance rights which vested 
during that year at the closing price on the day the performance rights vested.

The table highlights:

+  No change in fixed remuneration over the period

+  The proportion of remuneration from fixed (cash) salary has continued to decline

+ 

 Significant growth in the value of LTI from grant date to the vesting date due to the increase in security price 
(on average an increase of 147% for grants vesting in FY21).

 The policy is structured to ensure independence of judgement in the performance of their duties. 

 Non-Executive Directors receive fixed fees for Board membership and additional fees for membership of committees.

 The fees consider the size and scope of Goodman’s activities and the responsibilities and experience of the Directors. 
Periodically, these fees are benchmarked against data for comparable entities provided by external advisers.

 As approved by Securityholders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting, total remuneration (including superannuation) payable by 
Goodman to all Non-Executive Directors in aggregate must not exceed $2.5 million per annum. For the current financial year, 
total Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration was $2.4 million (2020: $2.2 million).

 The increase in Non-Executive Director fees compared to the prior financial year was due to the change in composition of the 
Board and the establishment of a separate Nomination Committee. There were no changes to the Board and committee annual 
fees in respect of FY21.

 Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in any STI or LTI schemes as they may be perceived to create a bias 
when overseeing executive decision making.

 To align the interests of the Board with Securityholders, the Board updated the Directors’ Security Holding  
Policy in April 2021. The policy requires Non-Executive Directors to accumulate and hold Goodman securities with a value 
equivalent to their pre-tax annual base fee within three years of appointment, or in the case of the Chairman the pre-tax 
Chairman’s fee within three years of appointment as Chairman (subject to a transitional year following adoption of the new 
policy). For the purpose of this policy, the value of each parcel acquired is the higher of the purchase price or market value at 
the end of the financial year.

Executive KMP are engaged under written employment contracts until notice is given by either Goodman or the executive KMP.

provides his services through a management company, DPCON Bvba.

 Salary and fees represent the amounts due under the terms of executives’ service contracts and include movements in annual leave provisions.
 Executives’ bonus (STI) awards are paid in two instalments: 50% on finalisation of Goodman’s financial statements and 50% 12 months later. Under Australian 
Accounting Standards, this means the entire bonus award is considered as a long-term benefit with regard to the disclosure of individual executive’s remuneration.  
No bonuses were forfeited during the financial year.
 Other includes reportable fringe benefits, car parking and changes in long service leave provisions.
 In the prior year, the Board agreed certain tax equalisation arrangements with Anthony Rozic in connection with his employment arrangements in the United States 
and Australia to ensure that he was no better or worse off. As a result, in FY20 Goodman made additional tax related payments of US$150,005 in respect of the period 
prior to 1 January 2019. These amounts were on top of Anthony Rozic’s Australian tax obligations for which he remained exclusively responsible. The Board also 
advanced under an interest free loan, double-tax amounts in respect of the period prior to 1 January 2019 for which Foreign Income Tax Offsets from the Australian 
Taxation Office will be used to repay the advances. 
 At 1 July 2021 the advances made by Goodman amounted to US$503,729, and as there have been no further advances or repayments during the year ended 30 
June 2021, the balance at 30 June 2021 is also US$503,729. The amount of interest that would have been payable if charged on an arm's-length basis during the year 
is $20,149 (2020: $8,490). The notional interest amount has been included in Anthony Rozic’s statutory remuneration for FY21 (Other remuneration). In the prior year 
both the additional tax related amount and the notional interest amount were included in Anthony Rozic’s statutory remuneration (Other remuneration). 
 No other executive KMP received a loan from the Group during the current or prior financial years.
 Performance rights are an LTI and in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards: the values of the awards are determined using option pricing models and 
amortised in the income statement over the vesting periods.
 The remuneration of Danny Peeters is disclosed in Euros, the currency in which his base remuneration and STI are determined. The value attributed to his 
performance rights is translated from Australian dollars at the weighted average rate for the relevant financial year.
 The remuneration of Anthony Rozic is disclosed in US dollars, the currency in which his base remuneration and STI are determined. The value attributed to his 
performance rights is translated from Australian dollars at the weighted average rate for the relevant financial year.

Footnotes to the analysis of executive KMP performance rights table:
1. 

 The fair value was determined at grant date and calculated using a combination of the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend/distribution yield and 
a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 100 entities and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights 
to arrive at a present value.
 As performance rights had an exercise price of $nil, Goodman securities were automatically issued to employees when the performance rights vested. Accordingly, 
the percentage of performance rights that vested during the financial year equalled the percentage of securities issued during the financial year.
 The value of performance rights vested was calculated using the closing price of a Goodman security on the ASX of $17.94 on 1 September 2020, the day the 
performance rights vested.
 As Goodman securities were automatically issued to employees when the performance rights vested, and lapsed where they failed to do so, the vesting date was also 
deemed to be the expiry date.

6.4 Securities issued on exercise of performance rights

During FY21, Goodman issued 15,438,241 securities as a result of the vesting of performance rights. The amount paid by the 
employees on exercise of these securities was $nil.

No performance rights have vested since the end of the financial year.

6.5 Unissued securities under performance rights

At the date of this Directors’ report, unissued securities of Goodman under performance rights, i.e. those performance rights 
that have not yet vested, were:

Goodman Group

Directors’ report

Environmental regulations
Goodman has policies and procedures to identify and 
appropriately address environmental obligations that might 
arise in respect of Goodman’s operations that are subject to 
significant environmental laws and regulation. The Directors 
have determined that Goodman has complied with those 
obligations during the financial year and that there has not 
been any material breach.

Declaration by the Group Chief Executive Officer 
and Group Chief Financial Officer
The Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial 
Officer declared in writing to the Board that, in their opinion, 
the financial records of Goodman for the year ended 30 June 
2021 have been properly maintained and the financial report 
for the year ended 30 June 2021 complies with accounting 
standards and presents a true and fair view of Goodman’s 
financial condition and operational results. The Group Chief 
Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer confirmed 
that the above declaration was, to the best of their knowledge 
and belief, founded on a sound system of risk management 
and internal control and that the system was operating 
effectively in all material respects in relation to the financial 
reporting risks.

Disclosure in respect of any indemnification 
and insurance of officers and auditors
Pursuant to the Constitution of Goodman, current and 
former Directors and officers of Goodman are entitled to 
be indemnified. Deeds of Indemnity have been executed 
by Goodman, consistent with the Constitution, in favour of 
each Director. The Deed indemnifies each Director to the 
extent permitted by law for liabilities (other than legal costs) 
incurred in their capacity as a director of Goodman Limited or 
a controlled entity and, in respect of legal costs, for liabilities 
incurred in defending or resisting civil or criminal proceedings.

Goodman has insured, to the extent permitted by law, current 
and former Directors and officers of Goodman in respect of 
liability and legal expenses incurred in their capacity as a 
director or officer. As it is prohibited under the terms of the 
contract of insurance, the Directors have not included details 
of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the 
premiums paid.

The auditors of Goodman are not indemnified by Goodman or 
covered in any way by this insurance in respect of the audit.

Non-audit services
During the financial year, KPMG, Goodman and GIT’s auditor, 
performed certain other services in addition to the audit and 
review of the financial statements.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided 
during the financial year by the auditor and, in accordance 
with written advice authorised by a resolution of the Audit 

66

Committee, resolved that it is satisfied that the provision 
of those non-audit services during the financial year by the 
auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 for the following reasons:

+ 

+ 

 All non-audit services were subject to the corporate 
governance procedures adopted by Goodman and have 
been reviewed by the Audit Committee to determine they 
do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor

 The non-audit services provided do not undermine the 
general principles relating to auditor independence as 
set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or 
decision making capacity for Goodman, acting as an 
advocate for Goodman or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of Goodman and 
GIT, KPMG and its network firms, for the audit and non-audit 
services provided during the financial year, are set out in note 
26 to the consolidated financial statements.

Lead auditor’s independence declaration under 
section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001
The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 67 
and forms part of this Directors’ report for the financial year.

Rounding
Goodman and GIT are entities of a kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) 
Instrument 2016/191. In accordance with that Instrument, 
amounts in this Directors’ report and the consolidated financial 
statements have been rounded to the nearest hundred 
thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Events subsequent to balance date
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the 
financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction 
or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion 
of the Directors, to affect significantly the operations of 
Goodman, the results of those operations, or the state of 
affairs of Goodman, in future financial years.

The Directors’ report is made in accordance with a resolution 
of the Directors.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This section sets out the general basis upon which 
Goodman and GIT have prepared their financial 
statements and information that is disclosed to comply 
with the Australian Accounting Standards, Corporations 
Act 2001 or Corporations Regulations.

Specific accounting policies can be found in the sections 
to which they relate.

1. Basis of preparation
Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust are for-profit 
entities domiciled in Australia.

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements are general 
purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards adopted 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and 
the Corporations Act 2001. International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) form the basis of Australian Accounting 
Standards adopted by the AASB. The consolidated financial 
statements also comply with IFRS.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars and were authorised for issue by the 
Directors on 12 August 2021.

Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial reports

Shares in the Company, units in the Trust and CDIs over 
shares in GLHK are stapled to one another and are quoted as 
a single security on the ASX. Australian Accounting Standards 
require an acquirer to be identified and an in-substance 
acquisition to be recognised. In relation to the stapling of the 
Company, the Trust and GLHK, the Company is identified 
as having acquired control over the assets of the Trust and 
GLHK. In the consolidated statement of financial position of 
the Group, equity attributable to the Trust and the CDIs over 
the shares of GLHK are presented as non-controlling interests.

As permitted by the relief provided in ASIC Instrument 
20-0568, these financial statements present both the financial 
statements and accompanying notes of Goodman and GIT. 
GLHK, which is incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong, 
prepares its financial statements under Hong Kong Financial 
Reporting Standards and the applicable requirements of 
the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and accordingly the 
financial statements of GLHK have not been combined and 
included as adjacent columns in this report. The financial 
statements of GLHK have been included as an appendix to 
this report.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the 
historical cost basis, subject to any impairment of assets, except 
that the following assets and liabilities are stated at fair value:

+ 

Investment properties

+  Derivative financial instruments

+ 

Investments in unlisted securities

+  Liabilities for cash settled share based payment arrangements.

In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/
Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, amounts in these 
consolidated financial statements have been rounded to the 
nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each 
of the controlled entities are measured using the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates 
(functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s and the 
Trust’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity’s 
functional currency at rates approximating to the foreign 
exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. 
Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at the 
balance date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling on 
that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in 
the income statement.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms 
of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable 
at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items 
which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair 
value was determined.

Translation of controlled foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of controlled foreign operations are 
translated into Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates 
ruling at the balance date.

Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average 
rates for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on 
translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation 
reserve. On cessation of operations in a foreign region, the 
cumulative exchange differences relating to the operations in 
that region, that have been included in the foreign currency 
translation reserve, are reclassified to the income statement.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part 
of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in 
the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.

Changes in accounting policies

The AASB has issued new or amendments to standards that 
are first effective from 1 July 2020 but none of these have a 
material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective

The Group has not applied any new or amended standard 
that is not yet effective but available for early application in 
the current accounting period. None of the new or amended 
accounting standards are expected to have a significant 
impact on the future results of the Group.

Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation 
of the consolidated financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires 
estimates and assumptions concerning the application of 
accounting policies and the future to be made by Goodman. 
Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on 
historical experience and other factors, including expectations 
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under 
the circumstances.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, 
Goodman uses market observable data as far as possible. 
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value 
hierarchy and have been defined as follows:

+ 

+ 

 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities

 Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within 
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

+ 

 Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based 
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring 
fair values is included in the following notes:

+  Note 6 – Property assets

+  Note 18 – Financial risk management.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(continued) 

RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

The notes in this section focus on the significant items in the 
income statement, and include the profit per security, analysis 
of the results by operating segment and taxation details.

2. Profit before income tax

Gross property income

Gross property income comprises rental income under 
operating leases (net of incentives provided) and amounts 
billed to customers for outgoings (e.g. rates, levies, cleaning, 
security, etc). Amounts billed to customers for outgoings 
are a cost recovery for Goodman and are recognised once 
the expense has been incurred. The expense is included in 
property expenses.

Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where 
operating lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed 
increases in rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. 
This asset is a component of the relevant investment property 
carrying amount. The cost of lease incentives provided to 
customers is amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of 
the lease as a reduction of gross property income.

Management and development income

The revenue from management and development activities is 
measured based on the consideration specified in a contract 
with a customer. Goodman recognises revenue when it 
transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

Management income

Fee income derived from management services relates to 
investment management base fees and property services fees 
and is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services 
are provided. Customers make payments usually either 
monthly or quarterly in arrears.

Performance related management income generally relates 
to portfolio performance fee income, which is recognised 
progressively as the services are provided but only when the 
income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not 
being reversed. These portfolio performance fees are typically 
dependent on the overall returns of a Partnership relative to 
an agreed benchmark return, assessed over the life of the 
Partnership, which can vary from one year to seven years. The 
returns are impacted by operational factors such as the quality 
and location of the portfolio, active property management, 
rental income rates and development activity but can also be 
significantly affected by changes in global and local economic 
conditions. Accordingly, portfolio performance fee revenue is 
only recognised towards the end of the relevant assessment 
period, as prior to this revenue recognition is not considered to 
be sufficiently certain.

In determining the amount of revenue that can be reliably 
measured, management prepares a sensitivity analysis to 
understand the impact of changes in asset valuations on 
the potential performance fee at the assessment date. The 
assessment of revenue will depend on the prevailing market 
conditions at the reporting date relative to long-term averages 
and also the length of time until the assessment date; e.g. 
the longer the time period to assessment date, the greater 
the impact of the sensitivity analysis. The potential portfolio 
performance fee revenue is then recognised based on the 
length of time from the start of the assessment period to the 
reporting date as a proportion of the total assessment period. 
Where the income is attributable to development activities 
or it relates to a combination of inextricable management 
and development activities that have occurred over the 
performance fee period, then it is reported as development 
income; otherwise, the income is reported as management 
income. The Partnerships make payments in respect of portfolio 
performances fees at the end of the performance periods once 
the attainment of the conditions has been verified and the 
amount of the fee has been agreed by all parties.

76

 
Annual Report 2021

Development income – disposal of inventories

Net gain on disposal of investment properties

The disposal of inventories is recognised at the point in time 
when control over the property asset is transferred to the 
customer. This will generally occur on transfer of legal title and 
payment in full by the customer. The gain or loss on disposal 
of inventories is calculated as the difference between the 
carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the 
proceeds on disposal (less transaction costs) and is included 
in the income statement in the period of disposal.

Development income – development management services

Fee income from development management services 
(including master-planning, development management and 
overall project management) is recognised progressively 
as the services are provided in proportion to the stage of 
completion by reference to costs. Payments are received in 
accordance with the achievement of agreed milestones over 
the development period. The development period can be up to 
24 months for larger, more complex projects.

Performance related development income includes income 
associated with the returns from individual developments 
under the Group’s management and performance fee income 
that relates to development activity. Income in respect of 
individual developments is recognised by Goodman on 
attainment of the performance related conditions, which 
is when the income can be reliably measured and is highly 
probable of not being reversed. These amounts are paid by 
the Partnership when the amounts have been measured and 
agreed. Income associated with development activities as part 
of a portfolio assessment is recognised on the same basis as 
outlined above in the management income section.

Development income – fixed price development contracts

Certain development activities are assessed as being fixed 
price development contracts. This occurs when a signed 
contract exists, either prior to the commencement of or during 
the development phase, to acquire a development asset from 
Goodman on completion. Revenue and expenses relating to 
these development contracts are recognised in the income 
statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the 
relevant contracts by reference to costs. The payments may 
be on completion of the development once legal title has been 
transferred. The development period can be up to 24 months 
for larger, more complex projects.

The disposal of an investment property is recognised at 
the point in time when control over the property has been 
transferred to the purchaser.

Employee expenses

Wages, salaries and annual leave

Wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and 
annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months 
of the balance date represent present obligations resulting 
from employees’ services provided to the balance date. These 
are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on rates that 
are expected to be paid as at balance date including related 
on-costs, such as insurances and payroll tax.

Bonuses

A liability is recognised in other payables and accruals for 
bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or where there 
is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. 
Liabilities for bonuses are measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid, including related on-costs, when they are settled.

Superannuation

Defined contribution funds

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution funds are 
recognised as an expense as incurred.

Defined benefit retirement schemes

The net obligation in respect of defined benefit retirement 
schemes is recognised in the statement of financial position 
and is calculated separately for each plan by estimating 
the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in 
the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and 
deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The calculation 
of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a 
qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. 
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which 
comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan 
assets (excluding interest), are recognised immediately in 
other comprehensive income. Net interest expense and other 
expenses related to defined benefit retirement schemes are 
recognised in the income statement.

3. Profit per security
Basic profit per security of the Group is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Securityholders by the weighted 
average number of securities outstanding during the year. Diluted profit per security is determined by adjusting the profit 
attributable to the Securityholders and weighted average number of securities outstanding for all dilutive potential securities, 
which comprise performance rights issued under the LTIP.

4. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of Goodman that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses. Goodman reports the results and financial position of its operating segments based on the internal reports regularly 
reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer in order to assess each segment’s performance and to allocate resources to them. 

Operating segment information is reported on a geographic basis and Goodman has determined that its operating segments are 
Australia and New Zealand (reported on a combined basis), Asia (Greater China and Japan), Continental Europe (primarily Germany 
and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (North America and Brazil).

The activities and services undertaken by the operating segments include:

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Property investment, through both direct ownership and cornerstone investments in Partnerships

 Management activities, both investment and property management

 Development activities, including development of directly owned assets (predominantly disclosed as inventories) and management 
of development activities for Partnerships.

The segment results that are reported to the Group Chief Executive Officer are based on profit before net finance expense and income 
tax expense, and also exclude non-cash items such as fair value adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and incentive based 
remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating segment are the property assets, including the investments in Partnerships and 
trade and other receivables associated with the operating activities, but exclude inter-entity funding, income tax receivables and corporate 
assets. The liabilities allocated to each operating segment primarily relate to trade and other payables associated with the operating 
activities, but exclude interest bearing liabilities, derivative financial instruments, provisions for distributions and corporate liabilities.

Annual Report 2021

5. Taxation
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and 
movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement except to the extent that they relate to 
items recognised directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised directly in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year and any adjustment to tax payable in 
respect of previous financial years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not accounted for:

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Goodwill

 The initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit

 Differences relating to investments in controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount 
of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities in respect of investment properties held at fair value are calculated 
on the presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale. A deferred tax asset 
is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be 
utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Additional income taxes that arise from dividends/distributions are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related 
dividends/distributions.

At 30 June 2021, deferred tax liabilities of $124.0 million (2020: $82.3 million) have been recognised in relation to potential future 
distributions from Partnerships.

(f)  Taxation of GIT

Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, provided that 
Securityholders are presently entitled to the distributable income of the Trust as calculated for trust law purposes. The controlled 
entities of the Trust that operate in certain foreign jurisdictions are liable to pay tax in those jurisdictions.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Components of investment properties

The notes in this section focus on Goodman’s property 
assets, working capital and goodwill and intangible assets.

6. Property assets

(a) Principles and policies

Investment in property assets includes both inventories and 
investment properties (including those under development), 
which may be held either directly or through investments in 
Partnerships (both associates and JVs).

Inventories

Inventories relate to land and property developments that 
are held for sale or development and sale in the normal 
course of the Group’s business. Inventories are carried at the 
lower of cost or net realisable value. The calculation of net 
realisable value requires estimates and assumptions which 
are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience 
and expectations of future events that are believed to be 
reasonable under the circumstances.

Inventories are classified as non-current assets unless they are 
contracted to be sold within 12 months of the end of the reporting 
period, in which case they are classified as current assets.

Investment properties

Investment properties comprise investment interests in land 
and buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental 
income and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties 
are carried at fair value. The calculation of fair value requires 
estimates and assumptions which are continually evaluated 
and are based on historical experience and expectations of 
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. Investment properties are not depreciated 
as they are subject to continual maintenance and regularly 
revalued on the basis described below. Changes in the fair 
value of investment properties are recognised directly in the 
income statement.

Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) 
comprising investment properties are regarded as composite 
assets and are disclosed as such in the consolidated 
financial report.

Investment property carrying values include the costs of 
acquiring the assets and subsequent costs of development, 
including costs of all labour and materials used in 
construction, costs of managing the projects, holding costs 
and borrowing costs incurred during the development periods.

Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and 
assets relating to fixed rental income increases in operating 
lease contracts are included within investment property 
values. Lease incentives are amortised over the term of the 
lease on a straight-line basis. Direct expenditure associated 
with leasing a property is also capitalised within investment 
property values and amortised over the term of the lease.

Classification of investment properties

Investment properties are classified as either properties under 
development or stabilised properties. Investment properties 
under development include land, new investment properties 
in the course of construction and investment properties that 
are being redeveloped. Stabilised investment properties 
are all investment properties not classed as being under 
development and would be completed properties that are 
leased or are available for lease to customers.

For investment properties under development, the carrying 
values are reviewed by management at each reporting date to 
consider whether they reflect the fair value and at completion 
external valuations are obtained to determine the fair values.

For stabilised investment properties, independent valuations 
are obtained at least every three years to determine the fair 
values. At each reporting date between obtaining independent 
valuations, the carrying values are reviewed by management 
to ensure they reflect the fair values.

Deposits for investment properties

Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment 
properties that are incurred prior to obtaining legal title 
are recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the 
statement of financial position.

(c)   Estimates and assumptions in determining property carrying values

Inventories

For both inventories held directly and inventories held in Partnerships, external valuations are not performed but instead valuations 
are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the land and property developments. The end values of the developments in 
the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent 
with those observed in the relevant market. If the feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a completed 
development will exceed the net realisable value, then the inventories are impaired.

Investment properties

Stabilised investment properties

The fair value of stabilised investment properties is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same 
location and condition and subject to similar lease and other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for which a 
property could be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing 
wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.

Approach to determination of fair value

The approach to determination of fair value of investment properties is applied to both investment properties held directly and 
investment properties held in Partnerships.

Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns 
in property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. 
Recent and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into account. Valuations are either based on an external 
independent valuation or on an internal valuation.

External valuations are undertaken only where market segments were observed to be active. In making the determination of 
whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics are considered:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or suburban office)

 Location of asset (city, suburb or regional area)

 Carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely appeal to private (including syndicates), national and institutional investors)

 Categorisation as primary or secondary based on a combination of location, weighted average lease expiry, quality of tenant 
covenant (internal assessment based on available market evidence) and age of construction.

Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets in the same or similar market segments. Information on all relevant recent 
sales is also analysed using the same criteria to provide a comparative set. Unless three or more sales are observed in an individual 
market segment (taken together with any comparable market segments as necessary), that market segment is considered inactive.

87

Goodman Group

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Operating assets and liabilities (continued) 
6 Property assets (continued) 

During the current financial year, the fair values of 59% 
(2020: 59%) of stabilised investment properties held directly 
by Goodman were determined based on a valuation by an 
independent valuer who held a recognised and relevant 
professional qualification and had recent experience in the 
location and category of the investment property being valued. 
The equivalent percentage for GIT was 78% (2020: 42%).

For investments in Partnerships, all properties that were 
stabilised investment properties throughout FY21 were valued 
by an independent valuer during the year.

Sensitivity analysis

The fair value measurement approach for directly held 
investment properties has been categorised as a Level 3 fair 
value based on the inputs to the valuation method used (see 
note 1). The stabilised investment property valuations at 30 
June 2021 are most sensitive to the following inputs:

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Capitalisation rates

 Market rents

  Level of incentives provided to customers  
and/or the amount of vacant time on expiry of a lease.

The majority of directly held stabilised investment properties 
are in Australia and the average capitalisation rate and the 
range of market rents are summarised in the table below:

Range of net market rents 
(per square metre per annum)

$90 to 
$450

$44 to 
$320

Capitalisation rate (weighted average)

4.4% 5.2%

Where a market segment is observed to be active, then 
external independent valuations are performed for stabilised 
investment properties where there has been more than a 25 
basis point movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has 
been a material change in tenancy profile (including changes 
in the creditworthiness of a significant customer that may have 
a material impact on the property valuation), and/or there has 
been significant capital expenditure, and/or there has been 
a change in use (or zoning) of the asset and/or it has been 
three years since the previous external independent valuation. 
For all other stabilised investment properties in an active 
market segment, an internal valuation is performed based on 
observable capitalisation rates and referenced to independent 
market data.

Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, then no 
external independent valuations are performed and internal 
valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow 
(DCF) calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 
10 year period. The key inputs considered for each individual 
calculation are rental growth rates, discount rates, market 
rental rates and letting up incentives. Discount rates are 
computed using the 10 year bond rate or equivalent in each 
jurisdiction plus increments to reflect country risk, tenant 
credit risk and industry risk. Where possible, the components 
of the discount rate are benchmarked to available market data.

Market assessment

The investment market for industrial, logistics and warehousing 
properties has been strong during FY21. At 30 June 2021, 
the Board has been able to assess that all markets in which 
the Group operated were active and as a consequence no 
adjustments have been made to the carrying values of the 
Group’s stabilised investment property portfolios on the basis 
of internally prepared discounted cash flow valuations.

The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the 
divisional portfolios (including Partnerships) are as set out in 
the table below:

Investment properties under development

External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development, but instead valuations are 
determined using the feasibility studies supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies 
are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed 
in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location, size 
and current status of the development and is generally in a market range of 10% to 15%; although for larger more complex 
projects that are at an early stage of the development, the profit and risk factor could be up to 25%. This adjusted end value is 
then compared to the forecast cost of a completed development to determine whether there is an increase or decrease in value.

This practice of determining fair value by reference to the development feasibility is generally also applied for Goodman’s 
investments in Partnerships. However, certain Partnerships do obtain independent valuations for investment properties under 
development each financial year.

(f)  Investments accounted for using the equity method

Investments accounted for using the equity method comprise associates and JVs, which are collectively referred to as Partnerships.

Associates

An associate is an entity in which Goodman exercises significant influence but not control over its financial and operating 
policies. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. 
Investments in associates are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. Under this method, 
Goodman’s share of post-acquisition gains or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated income statement and 
its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition 
movements in both profit or loss and reserves are adjusted against the cost of the investment.

JVs

A JV is an arrangement in which Goodman is considered to have joint control for accounting purposes, whereby Goodman has 
rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. In the consolidated 
financial statements, investments in JVs are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in JVs are carried at the lower 
of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. Goodman’s share of the JVs’ net profit or loss is recognised in the 
consolidated income statement from the date the arrangement commences to the date the arrangement ceases. Movements in 
reserves are recognised directly in consolidated reserves.

 Shareholder loans have been provided by investors of GCLP in proportion to their ownership interest. The shareholder loans are interest free, unsecured and have no 
fixed terms of repayment. The shareholder loans are not expected to be repaid within 12 months from the end of the reporting period and the Directors consider the 
loans to form part of Goodman’s investment in GCLP.

With respect to Goodman’s other JVs, the total profit after tax and revaluations was $332.4 million (2020: $92.9 million) and total 
other comprehensive loss was $12.8 million (2020: $nil). With respect to GIT’s other JVs, the total profit after tax and revaluations 
was $341.2 million (2020: $107.5 million) and total other comprehensive income was $nil (2020: $nil).

7. Receivables
Receivables comprise trade and other receivables and loans 
to related parties and are recognised on the date that they are 
originated, initially at fair value plus any directly attributable 
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method, less any impairment losses.

Receivables are derecognised when the contractual rights 
to the cash flows from the receivable expire or the Group 
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on 
the receivable in a transaction in which substantially all the 
risks and rewards of the receivable are transferred.

Goodman assessed the receivables balances at 30 June 2021 
for expected credit losses (risk of non-payment). The level of 
provisioning was not significant in the context of the Group’s 
financial position.

8. Contract balances
Contract assets primarily comprise amounts recoverable 
from fixed price development contracts (disclosed net of any 
payments received on account) and accrued performance fee 
income where the Group assesses that the income can be 
reliably measured.

Contract liabilities primarily comprise consideration received 
in advance of the completion of development contracts and 
rental guarantees.

The following table provides an analysis of receivables 
from contracts with customers (excluding rental income 
receivables), contract assets and contract liabilities at the 
reporting dates:

Transaction price allocated to the remaining 
contract obligations

The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining 
performance obligations under Goodman’s existing contracts 
was $12.5 million (2020: $14.3 million). This amount represents 
revenue expected to be recognised in the future from ongoing 
management and fixed price development contracts with 
customers. Goodman will recognise the expected revenue in 
the future as the work is completed, which is expected to be 
within the next 12 months.

Details regarding Goodman’s future rental income associated 
with existing lease agreements is included in note 6.

In addition, Goodman receives investment management, 
development management and property services fees under 
various contracts that it has with its Partnerships. These 
contracts are for varying lengths of time and are typically 
transacted on terms that are consistent with market practice. 
The revenues under these contracts are linked to the AUM, 
total development project costs or gross property income of 
Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.

9. Assets held for sale
At 30 June 2021, assets held for sale amounting to $41.5 
million comprised an investment property in Australia.

In the prior year, the Group together with GEP entered into an 
agreement with a third party in March 2020 to dispose a portfolio 
of property assets and the Group’s operating platform in the 
Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The disposal 
was completed on 8 July 2020. At 30 June 2020, the directly held 
assets and liabilities to be disposed were presented as a disposal 
group held for sale and comprised the following assets and 
liabilities within the Continental Europe segment:

Trade and other payables are derecognised when the 
contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount 
presented in the statement of financial position when, and 
only when, there is a legal right to offset the amounts and an 
intention to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset 
and settle the liability simultaneously.

13.  Leases
Goodman leases office buildings, motor vehicles and office 
equipment. Certain investment properties and developments 
classified as inventories are also built on land held under 
leasehold interests.

Goodman recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at 
the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially 
measured at cost plus any direct costs incurred and an estimate 
of costs to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is 
located, less any lease incentives received.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the 
lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, 
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. After 
initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised 
cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective 
interest method. The lease liability is remeasured when there is 
a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an 
index or rate, or there is a change arising from the reassessment 
of whether Goodman will be reasonably certain to exercise an 
extension or termination option.

The right of use assets in respect of office buildings, motor 
vehicles and office equipment are depreciated using the straight-
line method over the period of the lease. Right of use assets that 
meet the definition of investment property are carried at fair value 
in accordance with note 6(a). Ground leases of development 
land that are classified as inventories are not depreciated but are 
assessed at each reporting date for impairments to ensure they 
are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

98

 
Annual Report 2021

14.  Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodman recognises both goodwill and indefinite life 
management rights in its statement of financial position. 

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of controlled entities is 
stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (refer 
below). No amortisation is provided.

Management rights

When fund and/or investment management activities are 
acquired as part of a business combination, management 
rights are recorded where they arise from contractual or other 
legal rights, and the fair value can be measured reliably.

Management rights are stated at cost less impairment. 
Management rights are not amortised as they are assumed 
to have an indefinite life given they are routinely renewed at 
minimal cost and on broadly similar terms.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of goodwill and management rights are 
tested annually for impairment. For the purpose of impairment 
testing, goodwill and management rights are allocated to the 
related cash-generating units monitored by management. 
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying 
amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable 
amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value 
(net of disposal costs) and the value in use but given that 
goodwill and management rights are not frequently traded 
(i.e. fair value is difficult to ascertain), the recoverable amount 
will be equal to the value in use of the cash-generating unit. 
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate 
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the cash-generating unit.

Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.  
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating 
units are allocated first to reduce the goodwill allocated to 
the cash-generating unit, then to the carrying amount of the 
management rights allocated to the cash-generating unit and 
then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the 
cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. An 
impairment loss for management rights is reversed only to the 
extent that its carrying amount does not exceed its original cost.

out by below:

Impairment testing for intangible assets

The carrying values of both goodwill and indefinite life management rights are assessed for impairment annually. For the purpose of 
impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite life management rights are allocated to the Goodman divisions that represent the lowest level 
within Goodman at which the goodwill and indefinite life management rights are monitored for internal management purposes. Where 
goodwill and management rights arise in the same division, impairment testing has been performed on the combined intangible asset.

The impairment tests for all intangible assets are based on each division’s value in use. Value in use is determined by discounting the 
future projected cash flows generated from continuing operations. These cash flows are for a five-year period, with a year five terminal 
value calculated using a terminal growth rate and an appropriate discount rate for each division.

The key drivers of value in respect of the intangible assets are:

+ 

+ 

 Development cash flows, which are impacted by development volumes and margins and whether the developments are 
undertaken directly by Goodman or directly by Partnerships or in joint venture with Partnerships

 Management cash flows, which are driven by the level of AUM and net property income in Partnerships and, in the case of 
portfolio performance fee income, the long-term performance of the Partnerships.

The estimation of future cash flows requires assumptions to be made regarding uncertain future events. The cash flows do not 
assume a downturn in earnings that might arise in the event of a significant adverse change in market conditions for the Group. The 
cash flows also assume that Goodman’s management contracts with Partnerships have an indefinite life. This is on the basis that in 
the past these contracts have been typically renewed at minimal cost and on broadly similar financial terms.

When assessing a potential impairment, the value in use is compared against the sum of the intangible asset balance and the plant 
and equipment balance for each division.

Value in use

The value in use for both Continental Europe and the United Kingdom are consistent with the prior years. The Group’s strategy remains 
the same with assets focused on core infill locations.

Discount rates

The post-tax discount rates were determined using the capital asset pricing model, with individual assumptions referenced to market 
data, where available, and adjusting for specific factors associated with each division. A risk premium was included in each division’s 
discount rate, reflecting the level of forecasting, size, country and financing risks for that division. The value in use was determined 
using the after-tax cash flows and the post-tax discount rates, with the discount rates then converted to the equivalent pre-tax rates.

Developments

Demand for modern, well-located industrial product in both Continental Europe and the United Kingdom remains strong. Earnings 
forecasts for each division include projects which have not yet been contracted.

Continental Europe

The activities will be focused on core markets in western and southern Europe. The average annual development activity over the next 
five years is expected to be 0.6 million square metres and the estimated cash outflow from Goodman and Partnerships required to 
fund the assumed development pipeline across the forecast period is A$0.9 billion per annum.

United Kingdom

The activity will continue to be focused on the core markets close to London and along the M1 corridor. In the short term, 
developments will include a number of sites that have already been acquired. The division’s development activity over the next five 
years is forecast to be 0.16 million square metres per annum, on average, which will be undertaken by GUKP, with Goodman earning 
development management fee income. The estimated cash outflow from Goodman and GUKP required to finance the assumed 
development pipeline across the forecast period is A$0.42 billion per annum.

Sources of funding for development activity

Capital inflows required to fund acquisitions and development activity in both divisions are assumed to arise from the following 
sources: equity investment directly into Partnerships (including distribution reinvestment plans) by Goodman and its investment 
partners (in some cases, the projections assume future equity investment will be greater than existing commitments); lending facilities 
advanced to Partnerships; debt capital markets; customer-funded turnkey developments; and proceeds from disposals of assets. It is 
not practicable to determine the percentage of the total which will flow from each source.

Funds available to Goodman and its investment partners are assumed to be sourced from available global markets and are not limited 
to lending markets in the regions to which the relevant intangible asset relates.

AUM

For Continental Europe, the average annual increase in AUM of 8.0% (2020: 3.4%) over the forecast period is higher than the prior 
year forecasts following the disposal of assets in central and eastern Europe in FY21. The projected AUM assumes that most of the 
development over the forecast period is for Partnerships. For the purpose of the value in use assessments, capitalisation rates are 
expected to be stable over the period and no portfolio performance revenue is assumed.

For United Kingdom, the significant percentage growth in AUM over the period reflects the fact that GUKP is a relatively new 
Partnership, with AUM forecast to grow from £0.9 billion to approximately £2.3 billion. GUKP has secured a number of sites that will 
be developed over the next three years and underpin the projected growth. For the purpose of the forecasts, capitalisation rates are 
expected to be stable over the period.

Long-term growth rates have been used to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the five-year 
forecast. For both Continental Europe and United Kingdom, the growth rate was based on the consumer price indices.

The forecast cost of developments in year five represents the estimated total funding requirements for both directly held developments 
and developments within Partnerships. The cost of developments in Australian dollars has remained relatively stable.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The notes in this section focus on Goodman’s and GIT’s financing activities, capital structure and management of the financial 
risks involved.

15.  Net finance income/(expense)

Interest income and expense are recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of 
debt. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance 
costs are expensed using the effective interest rate method.

17.  Other financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities primarily comprise derivative financial instruments that are recognised initially on the trade 
date at which Goodman and GIT become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

Goodman and GIT use derivative financial instruments to hedge their economic exposure to foreign exchange and interest 
rate risks arising from operating, investing and financing activities. In accordance with the Group’s Financial Risk Management 
policy, Goodman and GIT do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Goodman and GIT’s derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly 
movements in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement.

Cash flow hedges

Certain of Goodman and GIT’s associates and JVs continue to designate derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges 
for accounting purposes. Goodman’s and GIT’s share of the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial 
instruments in associates and JVs that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge 
reserve. The gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Capital management (continued)

18.  Financial risk management

(a)  Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

Goodman is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its 
investments in New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, 
Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, North America 
and Brazil. Foreign exchange risk represents the gain or 
loss that would be recognised from fluctuations in currency 
prices against the Australian dollar as a result of Goodman’s 
net investment in foreign operations, future commercial 
transactions, and other foreign currency denominated assets 
and liabilities.

In managing foreign exchange risks, Goodman aims to reduce 
the impact of short-term fluctuations on Goodman’s earnings 
and net assets. However, over the long term, permanent 
changes in foreign exchange rates will have an impact on both 
earnings and net assets.

Goodman’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region 
is to hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency 
denominated assets with foreign currency denominated 
liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same currency 
as the overseas investments to form a natural economic 
hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using 
derivatives such as cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS) 
and foreign exchange contracts (FEC).

The Group’s hedge position is monitored on an ongoing 
basis and the Group will enter into new derivatives (including 
forward start contracts) and close out or enter into contra 
derivative contracts to manage the capital hedge position.

The Directors have ultimate responsibility for Goodman’s 
financial risk management (FRM) processes and have 
established policies, documented in the FRM policy, to 
manage Goodman’s exposure to financial risks and to utilise 
capital in an efficient manner.

Goodman’s treasury function is responsible for monitoring 
the day to day compliance with the Group’s FRM policies 
and prepares reports for consideration by management 
committees and the Board including:

+  Cash flow projections over a period of at least 12 months 
to assess the level of cash and undrawn facilities, and 
headline gearing at each month end

+  Debt maturity profile, to allow the Group to plan well in 

advance of maturing facilities

+ 

Interest rate hedge profile over the next 10 years, to allow 
the Group to manage the proportion of fixed and floating 
rate debt in accordance with its FRM policy

+  Capital hedge position (by currency) and profile of expiring 
currency derivatives, to allow the Group to manage its net 
investment hedging in accordance with its FRM policy.

Any significant investments or material changes to the finance 
facilities or FRM policies require approval by the Board.

Capital management

Goodman’s principal capital management objectives are to 
maintain a strong capital base and provide funds for operating 
activities (including development expenditure), capital 
expenditure and investment opportunities as they arise. This is 
achieved through an appropriate mix of debt and equity.

Goodman is able to alter the capital mix by issuing new 
Goodman debt and equity securities or hybrid securities, by 
reinstating the distribution reinvestment plan, by adjusting the 
timing of development and capital expenditure and by selling 
assets to reduce borrowings. Goodman also manages capital 
through its distribution policy in which distributions made to 
Securityholders are based on the Group’s operating profit, 
subject to a minimum distribution equal to the taxable income 
of the Trust.

Goodman’s key financial risks are market risk (including foreign 
exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

Sensitivity analysis

Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% stronger against all other currencies, with all other variables 
held constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange 
movements, would have decreased by A$72.9 million (2020: A$58.2 million decrease) for Goodman and A$28.6 million (2020: 
A$22.7 million) for GIT. If the Australian dollar had been 5% weaker against all other currencies, with all other variables held 
constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange 
movements, would have increased by A$72.9 million (2020: A$58.2 million increase) for Goodman and A$28.6 million (2020: 
A$22.7 million) for GIT.

Interest rate risk

Goodman’s interest rate risk arises from variable rate borrowings and the Group’s CCIRS that hedge the overseas investments. 
Goodman adopts a policy of hedging such that between 60% and 100% of its current year exposure to changes in interest rates 
on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis. Goodman enters into interest rate derivatives (IRD), comprising both interest rate swaps and 
interest rate caps, to manage cash flow risks associated with the interest rates on borrowings that are floating. The IRD contracts are 
for 90 day intervals and involve quarterly payments or receipts of the net amount of interest.

As at 30 June 2021, Goodman and GIT’s fixed and floating interest rate exposure (by principal) based on existing interest bearing 
liabilities and derivative financial instruments is set out below:

Throughout the financial year, if interest rates on borrowings (based on the interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial 
instruments in place at the end of the year) had been 100 basis points higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, 
the profit attributable to Securityholders would have increased/decreased by A$0.2 million (2020: increased/decreased by 
A$0.7 million) for Goodman and decreased/increased by A$5.0 million (2020: decreased/increased by A$2.6 million) for GIT.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Goodman will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Goodman’s objective 
is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund short-term working capital, capital expenditure, investment opportunities, debt expiries 
and distributions. This is achieved through the monthly preparation of a three-year cash flow forecast to understand the uses 
of funds and to identify potential shortfalls in funding or potential breaches of financial covenants in its loan arrangements. 
This allows Goodman to plan for renewal of debt facilities, negotiation of new debt facilities, new issues of securities, including 
the distribution reinvestment plan, and other potential sources of funding.

Goodman’s treasury function is responsible for reporting details of all debt maturities to the Board at its regular meetings.

Goodman seeks to spread its debt maturities such that the total debt repayable in a single financial year does not exceed  
Board approved policy levels.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(c)  Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if 
counterparties failed to perform as contracted.

The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets, 
excluding investments, which have been recognised on the 
statement of financial position, is equal to the carrying amount.

Goodman has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all 
potential customers and is not materially exposed to any one 
customer. Goodman evaluates all customers’ perceived credit 
risk and may require the lodgement of rental bonds or bank 
guarantees, as appropriate, to reduce credit risk. In addition, 
all rents are payable monthly in advance. Bank guarantees are 
accepted from financial institutions which have an investment 
grade credit rating from a major rating agency.

Concentration of credit risk may exist due to receivables 
in respect of the disposals of investment properties. The 
credit risk is minimised as legal title to the properties is only 
transferred upon receipt of proceeds and typically Goodman 
will have either received a cash deposit or be the beneficiary 
of a bank guarantee for 10% to 20% of the total proceeds.

In relation to material bank deposits, Goodman minimises credit 
risk by dealing with major financial institutions. The counterparty 
must have a long-term investment grade credit rating from a 
major rating agency. The amounts and other terms associated 
with bank deposits are formally reviewed monthly.

The credit risks associated with derivative financial 
instruments are managed by:

+ 

+ 

 Transacting with multiple derivatives counterparties that 
have a long-term investment grade credit rating

 Utilising International Swaps and Derivatives Association 
(ISDA) agreements with derivative counterparties in 
order to limit exposure to credit risk through netting of 
amounts receivable and amounts payable to individual 
counterparties (refer below)

+ 

 Formally reviewing the mark to market position of 
derivative financial instruments by counterparty on a 
monthly basis.

Master netting off or similar agreements

Goodman enters into derivative transactions under ISDA 
master netting off agreements. Under these agreements, where 
certain credit events occur (such as a default), all outstanding 
transactions under the agreement are terminated and a single 
net termination value is payable in full and final settlement.

As Goodman does not have any current legally enforceable 
right to offset, the fair values associated with derivative 
financial instruments have been presented gross in the 
statement of financial position. However, if a credit event 
occurred, the ISDA master netting off agreement would allow 
A$175.2 million (2020: A$294.7 million) and

A$112.9 million (2020: A$291.9 million) of financial assets 
and financial liabilities in relation to Goodman’s and GIT’s 
respective derivative financial instruments to be offset.

Valuation techniques used to derive 
Level 2 and Level 3 fair values 
The Level 2 derivative financial instruments held by Goodman 
and GIT consist of IRD, CCIRS and FEC.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are 
determined using generally accepted pricing models which 
discount estimated future cash flows based on the terms and 
maturity of each contract and current market interest rates 
and/or foreign currency rates, adjusted for specific features of 
the instruments.

19.  Dividends and distributions
Dividends and distributions are recognised when they are 
declared and before deduction of any withholding tax. Any 
non-recoverable withholding tax is included in income tax.

The Group’s share based payments primarily relate to performance rights awarded to employees under the LTIP. These performance 
rights entitle an employee to either acquire Goodman securities for $nil consideration (equity settled performance rights) or, in 
certain jurisdictions, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the securities (cash settled performance rights), subject to 
the vesting conditions having been satisfied. Further details regarding the vesting conditions are included in the remuneration report 
section of the Directors’ report.

During the year, the movement in the number of equity settled and cash settled performance rights under the LTIP was as follows:

Outstanding at the beginning of the year

Granted

Exercised

Forfeited

Outstanding at the end of the year

Exercisable at the end of the year

(b) Share based payments (cont)

Share based payments transactions

The fair value of equity settled performance rights at the 
grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the 
employee compensation reserve over the period from the 
grant date to the vesting dates. The expense is adjusted to 
reflect the actual number of performance rights for which 
the related service and non-market vesting conditions are 
expected to be met. The accumulated share based payments 
expense of performance rights which have vested or lapsed 
is transferred from the employee compensation reserve to 
retained earnings.

The fair value of cash settled performance rights is also 
recognised as an expense but with a corresponding increase 
in liabilities over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted 
to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which 
the related service and non-market vesting conditions are 
expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at each 
reporting date and at the vesting date based on the fair value 
of the rights.

The fair value of services received in return for performance 
rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the 
fair value of the performance rights granted. The fair value of 
the performance rights granted during the year was measured 
as follows:

+ 

+ 

 Operating EPS tranche: these rights were valued as a 
granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes 
model with a continuous dividend/distribution yield

 Relative TSR tranche: these rights were valued using a 
Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each 
of the ASX 100 stocks and discounted the future value of 
any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive 
at a present value. The model uses statistical analysis to 
forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of 
variance and co-variance.

The model inputs for performance rights, both equity and 
cash settled, awarded during the current financial year included 
the following:

Rights issued on
19 Nov 2020

Rights issued on
30 Sep 2020

Fair value at

The amounts recognised as an expense are set out in note 2. 
At 30 June 2021, a liability of $158.0 million (2020: $91.0 million) 
was recognised in relation to cash settled performance rights.

Goodman’s New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan

Under Goodman’s New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan, 
employees receive approximately half of their LTI in the form 
of performance rights over GMT units that vest subject to 
meeting performance hurdles based on the achievement of 
distributable earnings targets by GMT and the relative total 
unitholder return from holding GMT units compared to other 
NZX property vehicles. On vesting, delivery of units in GMT 
is made from units held by Goodman or acquired on-market.

Where an entity either began or ceased to be controlled during the financial year, the results of that entity are included only from

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Other items (continued) 
27 Parent entity disclosures (continued)

The financial information for the parent entities of Goodman and 
GIT has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated 
financial statements, except as set out below:

Investments in controlled entities and Partnerships

Investments in controlled entities and Partnerships are 
accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Goodman 
Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust. Distributions/dividends 
received from Partnerships are recognised in the income 
statement, rather than being deducted from the carrying 
amount of these investments.

Tax consolidation

Goodman Limited is the head entity in a tax consolidated 
group comprising all Australian wholly owned subsidiaries 
(this excludes GIT). The head entity recognises all of the 
current tax assets and liabilities of the tax consolidated 
group (after elimination of intra-group transactions).

Financial guarantees

Where the parent entities have provided financial guarantees 
in relation to loans and payables of controlled entities for 
no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are 
accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the 
cost of the investment.

Parent entity capital commitments

At 30 June 2021, the parent entities had no capital 
commitments (2020: $nil).

Parent entity contingencies 
Capitalisation Deed Poll

The Company, GFML, as responsible entity of the Trust, 
GLHK and certain of their wholly owned controlled entities are 
‘investors’ under a Capitalisation Deed Poll (CDP) dated 23 
May 2007. Under the CDP, each investor undertakes to pay to 
the relevant controlled entity borrower (borrower) any amounts 
owing under finance documents for the purpose of the CDP 
when the borrower fails to make a payment. Any payments by 
an investor to a borrower will be by way of loan to, or proceeds 
for the subscription of equity in, the borrower by the investor.

United States and Reg S senior notes

Under the issue of notes in the United States 144A/Reg S 
bond market (refer to notes 16(b) and 16(c)), controlled 
entities of GIT had on issue USD and EUR notes amounting 
to US$850.0 million and €500.0 million respectively. GL, 
GFML, as responsible entity of the Trust, and GLHK have 
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed on a joint and 
several basis the payment of principal and interest in respect 
of each of the notes.

28.  Events subsequent to balance date

Goodman and GIT

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated 
financial report, there has not arisen in the interval between 
the end of the financial year and the date of this consolidated 
financial report any item, transaction or event of a material and 
unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors, to affect 
significantly the operations of Goodman and GIT, the results of 
those operations, or the state of affairs of Goodman and GIT, 
in future financial years.

Recognition of development income ($1,492.0m)
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Development income was a key audit matter due to:
 + its significant value (39% of revenue and other income);
 + the high volume of transactions; and
 + the judgements applied by us to assess the Goodman Group’s 

determination of revenue recognised during the period in relation to 
contracts which remain in progress at period end.

Development income comprises income from disposal of inventories, 
other development income (including development management 
services) and income from fixed price construction contracts.
Income from development management services is recognised 
progressively, requiring judgement by us when considering the Goodman 
Group’s determination of the amount and extent of the services provided 
based on contract deliverables.
Income from certain inventory disposals and fixed price construction 
contracts is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the 
relevant contracts. We focused on the stage of completion estimation 
which is based on costs incurred as a percentage of estimated total 
costs for each contract.

Our procedures included:
 + Selecting specific contracts from development income recognised 

(in relation to contracts that remain in progress at period end) based 
on quantitative and qualitative information (such as the size and 
complexity of the arrangement); and

 + Evaluating Goodman Group’s recognition of development income 

against the criteria in the accounting standards.

For the specific contracts selected, our procedures included:
 + Understanding the underlying contractual arrangements, in particular 

their unique terms;

 + Where recognition of development income is conditional upon certain 

events occurring, checking correspondence with external parties for 
evidence of achievement of conditions;

 + Assessing the Goodman Group’s determination of revenue 

recognised during the period in accordance with the provision 
of services stipulated in the underlying contract or the stage of 
completion;

 + For revenue recognised based on the stage of completion, assessing 
a sample of costs incurred to date and total forecast costs against 
project feasibilities; and

 + Challenging the key assumptions included in the Goodman Group’s 
project feasibilities by comparing to commentary published by 
industry experts, recent market transactions, and our knowledge of 
historical performance of the assets.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Valuation of investment properties ($1,851.2m), investments accounted for using the 
equity method ($10,660.0m) and inventories ($1,427.8m)

Refer to Note 6 to the Financial Report

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Goodman Group’s investments in property assets include investment 
properties and inventories, which are held either directly or through its 
investments accounted for using the equity method.
Investment properties are held at fair value and inventories are held at 
the lower of cost and net realisable value. The valuation of property 
assets are determined using internal methodologies or through the use of 
external valuation experts.
The valuation of property assets is a key audit matter as they are 
significant in value (being 83% of total assets) and contain assumptions 
with estimation uncertainty.
This leads to additional audit effort due to differing assumptions based 
on asset classes, geographies and characteristics of individual property 
assets.
The valuation of property assets include a number of significant 
assumptions:
 + Investment properties:

- capitalisation rates;
- discount rates;
- customer covenant strength;
- market rental income;
-  weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels;
- projections of capital expenditure; and
- lease incentive costs.

 + Inventories:

- forecast capitalisation rates and market rental income;
- land value per square metre;
- letting up periods and lease incentive costs; and
- development costs.

In assessing this Key Audit Matter, we involved real estate valuation 
specialists, who understand the Group’s investment profile, business and 
the economic environment it operates in.

Our procedures included:
 + Obtaining an understanding of the Goodman Group’s process 

regarding the valuation of property assets;

 + Assessing the methodologies used in the valuations of property 

assets, for consistency with accounting standards, industry practice 
and the Goodman Group’s policies; and

 + Working with real estate valuation specialists to read published 
reports and industry commentary to gain an understanding of 
prevailing property market conditions.

For investment properties, taking into account asset classes, 
geographies and characteristics of individual investment properties:
 + Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of external 
valuation experts and Goodman Group’s internal valuers;

 + Challenging significant assumptions, with reference to published 
industry reports and commentary to gain an understanding of 
prevailing property market conditions;

 + With assistance of real estate valuation specialists, assessing a 
sample of significant assumptions including capitalisation rates, 
discount rates, customer covenant strength, market rental income, 
weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels, projections 
of capital expenditure and lease incentive costs. We did this by 
comparing to market analysis published by industry experts, recent 
market transactions, inquiries with the Goodman Group, historical 
performance of the assets and using our industry experience; and

 + Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our 

understanding obtained from our testing, against accounting 
standard requirements.

For inventories:
 + Challenging the key assumptions included in the Goodman 

Group’s internal recoverability assessments (project feasibilities) 
and valuations by comparing to commentary published by industry 
experts, recent market transactions, and our knowledge of historical 
performance of the assets.

Value of intangible assets ($822.6m)
Refer to Note 14 to the Financial Report

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

At 30 June 2021 the Goodman Group’s intangible assets comprised 
goodwill and management rights. The valuation of intangible assets 
was identified as a key audit matter as the Goodman Group’s annual 
impairment assessment contains significant judgments involving 
forecasting and discounting future cash flows.
The impairment assessment is based on the value in use model 
performed for each division of the Goodman Group. The value in use 
models incorporate significant judgment in respect of future conditions 
and we focussed on key assumptions such as:
 + forecast cash flows, growth rates and terminal growth rates, taking 
into consideration the level and margins from ongoing development 
activity and forecast funds management income (which is primarily 
dependent on assets under management). The Group’s models are 
sensitive to small changes in these assumptions, which may reduce 
available headroom. This drives additional audit effort specific to their 
feasibility and consistency of application to the Group’s strategy; and
 + discount rates – these are complicated in nature and vary according 

to the conditions the division is subject to from time to time.
We involved valuation specialists in assessing this Key Audit Matter.

Our procedures included:
 + Considering the appropriateness of the value in use method applied 

by the Goodman Group to perform the annual test of goodwill and 
management rights impairment, against the requirements of the 
accounting standards.

 + For divisions with significant intangible assets:

-  Working with our valuation specialists, comparing the discount 

rates and terminal growth rates used in the value in use models to 
publicly available data of comparable entities;

-  Assessing the ability of the Goodman Group to accurately forecast 

by comparing previous forecasts to actual results;

-  Comparing the division’s forecast cash flows contained in the value 

in use models to Board approved forecasts;

-  Challenging the divisions forecast cash flows from development 
activity and funds management based on our understanding of 
local market conditions; and

-  Performing a sensitivity analysis on the discount rates, growth rates 
and forecast assets under management by applying a reasonably 
possible range of outcomes to focus our further procedures.

 + Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our 

understanding from our testing and against the requirements of the 
accounting standards.

Other Information

Other Information is financial and non-financial information 
in Goodman Group’s annual reporting which is provided in 
addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The 
Directors of the Company and the Directors of the Responsible 
Entity are responsible for the Other Information.

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of 
this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report (including 
the Remuneration Report). The Chairman’s Letter, Group 
Chief Executive Officer’s Report, Corporate Responsibility 
and Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Securities 
Information are expected to be made available to us after the 
date of the Auditor's Report.

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other 
Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit 
opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with 
the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related 
assurance opinion.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our 
responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, 
we consider whether the Other Information is materially 
inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially 
misstated.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a 
material misstatement of this Other Information, and based 
on the work we have performed on the Other Information that 
we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report, we have 
nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the 
Financial Report

The Directors of the Company and the Responsible Entity are 
responsible for:

+ 

+ 

+ 

 preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
and the Corporations Act 2001;

 implementing necessary internal control to enable the 
preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair 
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due 
to fraud or error; and

 assessing the Goodman Group and Trust’s ability to 
continue as a going concern and whether the use of the 
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This 
includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting 
unless they either intend to liquidate the Goodman Group 
or the Trust or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 
Financial Report

Our objective is:

+ 

 to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
Financial Report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

+ 

 to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is 
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 
Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they 
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.

Performance review
The Consolidated Entity has operations in Asia, Continental 
Europe and the United Kingdom, and its earnings are derived from 
property investment, development and management activities.

The Consolidated Entity has been able to adapt to the 
challenges that FY21 has brought and has continued to grow 
the business sustainably for the long term.

The global pandemic has accelerated the changes in 
consumption trends that had already begun across the 
physical and digital spaces and this has increased demand 
for warehouse and logistics facilities. This has benefitted the 
Group’s existing portfolios in FY21, which have reported growth 
in rental income and maintained high occupancy levels. It has 
also given the Group confidence to commence a number of 
new developments, particularly multi-storey and higher intensity 
buildings within its urban locations, and these developments are 
providing essential real estate infrastructure for the long-term 
requirements of those cities and the Group’s customers.

This increase in development activity has been a key driver 
of the Consolidated Entity’s operating performance for FY21, 
with operating profit increasing by 28.1% to $499.8 million, 
compared to $390.3 million for the prior year.

In assessing Goodman Group’s underlying performance, the 
Directors consider operating earnings as well as Goodman 
Group’s statutory profit. Operating earnings is a proxy for ‘cash 
earnings’ and is not an income measure under Hong Kong 
Financial Reporting Standards. It is defined as profit attributable 
to Shareholders adjusted for property valuations, impairment 
losses and other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items.

Property investment earnings comprise gross property 
income (excluding straight lining of rental income), less 
property expenses, plus the Consolidated Entity’s share of 
the results of property investment joint ventures (referred to 
by the Consolidated Entity as Partnerships). The key drivers 
for maintaining or growing the Consolidated Entity’s property 
investment earnings are increasing the level of assets under 
management (AUM) (subject also to the Consolidated 
Entity’s direct and indirect interest), maintaining or increasing 
occupancy and rental levels within the portfolio, and 
controlling operating and financing costs within Partnerships.

The Consolidated Entity’s property portfolios are concentrated 
in large, urban centres where demand from customers has 
put pressure on land use and availability. As a consequence 
of the acceleration of consumer purchasing habits to online 
shopping, the Consolidated Entity has seen increased demand 
for space from customers in the food, consumer goods and 
logistics sectors, particularly related to e-commerce operators 
and those transitioning to online. At the same time, customers 
have continued to invest in order to improve the efficiency of 
their supply chains. In addition to storage and movements of 
goods, data centres have also emerged as a rapidly growing 
user of industrial property.

The Consolidated Entity’s share of investment earnings from 
its cornerstone holdings in the Partnerships decreased by 
13% to $32.7 million compared to the prior year. The lower 
earnings in Continental Europe as a result of disposals in FY20 
was partly offset by the stabilisation of developments in Asia 
and the United Kingdom in FY20 and FY21.

During FY21, the Consolidated Entity’s share of property 
valuations from the stabilised portfolios was $90.2 million. 
Valuation gains occurred in all regions and whilst the rental 
income growth and development completions were contributors 
to these uplifts, the primary driver was capitalisation rate 
compression. At 30 June 2021, the weighted average 
capitalisation rate for the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios was 
4.9%, compared to 5.2% at the start of FY21.

Development activities

Management activities

In FY21, development earnings were $528.0 million, an 
increase of 48% on the prior year, and comprised 73% of total 
operating earnings (2020: 57%). 

Development activity continued to be strong with work in 
progress of $5.8 billion across 37 projects at 30 June 2021. 
The increase in the Consolidated Entity’s development 
earnings was primarily volume driven.

Management earnings in FY21 of $146.3 million decreased 
by 33% compared to the prior year and comprised 20% of 
total operating earnings (2020: 35%). This was due to lower 
performance fee revenue recognised in FY21 and the net 
adverse impact of the translation of the overseas earnings 
compared to the prior year. The reduction in performance 
related revenue was the result of the timing of calculation and 
recognition of fees.

Management earnings relate to the revenue from managing 
both the property portfolios and the capital invested in 
the Partnerships (management income). This includes 
performance related revenues but excludes earnings from 
managing development activities in the Partnerships, which 
are included in development earnings. The key drivers for 
maintaining or growing management earnings are activity 
levels, asset performance, and increasing the level of AUM, 
which can be impacted by property valuations and asset 
disposals and is also dependent on liquidity including the 
continued availability of third party capital to fund both 
development activity and acquisitions across the Consolidated 
Entity’s Partnerships. 

Other items

Operating expenses increased mainly due to remuneration 
costs as a result of modest inflation pressure and cash 
incentives paid as a result of the Consolidated Entity’s overall 
performance. Borrowing costs have fallen as a result of lower 
interest rates on the Consolidated Entity’s loans. The reduction 
in tax expense is primarily a function of changes to the 
origin and nature of revenue arising from management and 
development activities.

Development earnings consist of development income, plus 
the Consolidated Entity’s share of the operating results of 
Partnerships that is allocable to development activities, plus 
net gains or losses from disposals of investment properties 
and equity investments that are allocable to development 
activities, plus interest income on loans to development 
joint ventures, less development expenses. Development 
income includes development management fees and also 
performance related revenues associated with managing 
individual development projects in Partnerships. The key 
drivers for the Consolidated Entity’s development earnings are 
the level of development activity, land and construction prices, 
property valuations and the continued availability of third-party 
capital to fund development activity.

Most of the inventory disposals and fixed price contract 
income arose in Continental Europe, as Goodman Group’s 
Partnerships in Continental Europe generally acquire 
completed developments from the Consolidated Entity. In the 
Consolidated Entity’s other operating segments, development 
earnings are a mix of development management income, 
including performance related income, and transactional 
activity, including the Consolidated Entity’s share of 
development profits reported by the Partnerships themselves. 
Consistent with the prior year, most of the development 
activity in FY21 was undertaken by or for the Partnerships and 
third parties.

The stabilised investment properties relate to new acquisitions 
in Asia and the United Kingdom.

The carrying value of cornerstone investments in Partnerships 
has increased by $193.8 million to $1,470.0 million, principally 
due to the net investment in the Partnerships and the valuation 
uplifts. A reconciliation of the current year movement in 
cornerstone investments in Partnerships is detailed in note 6(f) 
to the consolidated financial statements. 

The increase in development holdings by $84.7 million to 
$1,140.9 million is primarily due to additional expenditure on 
development projects in Continental Europe, China and the 
United Kingdom during the year. 

Other assets included receivables, fair values of derivative 
financial instruments that are in an asset position, contract 
assets, property, plant and equipment and tax assets (including 
deferred tax). Other liabilities included trade and other payables, 
the provision for dividends to Shareholders, fair values of 
derivative financial instruments that are in a liability position, 
employee benefits and tax liabilities (including deferred tax).

The increase in the net operating cash flows compared to the 
prior year primarily relates to development activities. During 
the year, the Consolidated Entity disposed of developments 
in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom, however, this 
was partly offset by an increase in development cash outflows, 
with market conditions remaining strong in all regions.

The net investing cash outflow was due to the net investment 
in the Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships, to fund acquisitions 
and new developments, plus the acquisitions of investment 
properties in Asia and the United Kingdom.

Financing cash flows principally relate to the net repayment 
of loans to related parties and payment of the dividend in 
August 2020. 

Outlook
The Consolidated Entity has been able to adapt to the 
changes in the world to enable it to execute its strategy well 
and be in a strong position to continue to do so.

The Consolidated Entity’s urban infill markets are experiencing 
significant demand as customers respond to consumer 
needs. The evolving consumption trends across the physical 
and digital space are fundamentally impacting the volume 
and changing the nature of demand from customers. As a 
consequence, development activity is expected to be a key 
contributor to the Group’s performance, with the customer 
demand maintaining the high occupancy levels and the rental 
income growth across the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios.

Further information as to other likely developments in the 
operations of the Consolidated Entity and the expected results 
of those operations in future financial years has not been 
included in this report of the Directors because disclosure 
of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable 
prejudice to the Consolidated Entity.

Report of the Directors

Risks

Goodman Group identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an 
assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported 
to the Goodman Group Board annually. 

Goodman Group has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision-making 
process. This is facilitated by a Goodman Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group 
Chief Executive Officer, which considers all major operational decisions and transactions. The Goodman Group Investment 
Committee meets on a weekly basis.

The Goodman Group Board has separate Board committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance 
Committee reviews and monitors a range of material risks in Goodman Group’s risk management systems including, among 
other risks, market, operational, sustainability, regulation and compliance and information technology. The Goodman Group 
Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk management and tax policies.

The key risks faced by Goodman Group and the controls that have been established to manage those risks are set out below:

Risk area

Mitigation

 + Low gearing, ample liquidity and appropriate hedging and duration 

to absorb market shocks

 + Appropriate hedging quantities and duration in accordance with 

Goodman Group's financial risk management policy

 + Diversification and tenure of debt funding sources and maturities
 + Capital partnering transfers risks into Partnerships
 + Diversification of investment partners
 + Change in distribution pay-out ratio consistent with contribution 

to increasing development workbook

 + Strong assets that can generate better rental outcomes
 + Long lease terms with prime customers
 + Key urban market strategy – urban, infill locations support re-usability 

of property

 + Adaptable and re-usable building design – ease to reconfigure for 

another customer.

 + Global diversification of Goodman Group's property portfolios
 + Focus on core property portfolios in key urban market locations
 + Focus on cost management
 + Prudent capital management with low gearing and significant 

available liquidity to allow for potential market shocks

 + Co-investment with local capital partners.

 + Independent governance structures
 + Core values and attitudes, with an embedded compliance culture 

focused on best practice

 + Dedicated Chief Risk Officer and Compliance Officer
 + Review of transactions by the Goodman Group Investment Committee.

 + Succession planning for senior executives
 + Competitive remuneration structures, including the 
Goodman Group Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

 + Performance management and review
 + Goodman Group values program
 + Learning, development and engagement programs.

Capital 
management 
(debt, equity 
and cash flow)

Goodman Group could suffer an inability to 
deliver its strategy, or an acute liquidity or 
solvency crisis, financial loss or financial distress 
as a result of a failure in the design or execution 
of its capital management and financing strategy.

Economic and 
geopolitical 
environment

Governance, 
regulation and 
compliance

People and culture

Global economic conditions and government 
policies present both risks and opportunities 
in the property and financial markets and the 
business of our customers, which can impact the 
delivery of Goodman Group's strategy and 
its financial performance. 
A continued increase in geopolitical tension 
between  countries could have potential 
consequences on our people, operations and 
capital partners.

Non-compliance with legislation, regulators, or 
internal policies, or to understand and respond 
to changes in the political and regulatory 
environment (including taxation) could result in 
legal action, financial consequences and damage 
our standing and reputation with stakeholders.

Failure to recruit, develop, support, and retain 
staff with the right skills and experience may 
result in significant underperformance or impact 
the effectiveness of operations and decision 
making, in turn impacting business performance.
Maintaining an organisational culture, in a 
changing workplace environment, commensurate 
with Goodman Group’s values.

Annual Report 2021

Risk area

Mitigation

Development

Development risks may arise from location, 
site complexity, planning and permitting, 
infrastructure, size, duration along with general 
contractor capability.

Disruption, changes 
in demand and 
obsolescence

The longer-term risk that an inability to 
understand and respond effectively to changes 
in our competitive landscape and customer 
value chain could result in business model 
disruption and asset obsolescence, including the 
perception of obsolescence in the short term.

Environmental 
sustainability and 
climate change

Failure to deliver on Goodman Group's 
sustainability leadership strategy and ambitions 
may lead to a negative impact on Goodman 
Group's reputation, ability to raise capital and 
a disruption to operations and stranded assets.

Asset and portfolio

Inability to execute asset planning and 
management strategies, including leasing 
risk exposures, can reduce returns from 
Goodman Group's portfolios. 

Concentration 
of counterparties 
and markets

Over-exposure to specific areas, such as capital 
partners, supply chain, customers and markets, 
may limit growth and sustainability opportunities.

Information and 
data security

Maintaining security (including cyber security) 
of IT environment and data, ensuring continuity 
of IT infrastructure and applications to support 
sustainability and growth and prevent operational,  
regulatory, financial and reputational impacts.

Infectious 
disease pandemic

There continues to be significant uncertainty 
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, with 
mutations of the virus and significant outbreaks 
continuing to occur globally. While vaccine 
distribution is underway, there are challenges 
with production and supply. Also the success of 
the vaccine in enabling the world to stabilise and 
transition to a normal footing is still to be understood. 

 + Review of development projects by the Goodman Group 

Investment Committee

 + Goodman Group defined design specifications, which cover 

environmental, technological, and safety requirements, protecting 
against short-term obsolescence

Independent auditor’s report
To the members of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) 

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that 
there is a material misstatement of this other information, 
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report 
in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors 
for the consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the 
consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair 
view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and 
the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for such internal 
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the 
preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the 
Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, 
matters related to going concern and using the going concern 
basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to 
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit 
of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. This report 
is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 
405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other 
purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept 
liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is 
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 
HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they 
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated 
financial statements.

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of 
Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (the Company) and its 
subsidiaries (the Group) set out on pages 148 to 187, which 
comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 
30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended 
and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including 
a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true 
and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group 
as at 30 June 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance 
and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in 
accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 
(HKFRSs) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants (HKICPA) and have been properly prepared in 
compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong 
Standards on Auditing (HKSAs) issued by the HKICPA. Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in 
the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated 
financial statements section of our report. We are independent 
of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants (the Code) and we have fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the 
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Information other than the consolidated financial 
statements and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information which 
comprises all the information included in the Company’s 
Report of the Directors.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does 
not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial 
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information 
is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial 
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

146

 
Annual Report 2021

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other 
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies 
in internal control that we identify during our audit.

10 Chater Road 
Central, Hong Kong

12 August 2021

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise 
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism 
throughout the audit. We also:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to 
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is 
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, 
or the override of internal control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the 
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate 
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used 
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by the Directors.

 Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of 
the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the 
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty 
exists related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty 
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the consolidated 
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, 
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the 
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the 
Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content 
of the consolidated financial statements, including the 
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial 
statements represent the underlying transactions and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the 
financial information of the entities or business activities 
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated 
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the Group audit.  
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

(expressed in Australian dollars)

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Going concern

1. Basis of preparation

(a)  Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance 
with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 
(HKFRSs), which collective term includes all applicable 
individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong 
Kong Accounting Standards (HKASs) and Interpretations 
issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants (HKICPA) and accounting principles generally 
accepted in Hong Kong. These financial statements also 
comply with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong 
Companies Ordinance. 

(b)  Basis of preparation of the consolidated 

financial statements

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the 
consolidated financial statements is the historical cost basis 
except for investment properties and other financial assets 
which are stated at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of 
policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income 
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions 
are based on historical experience and various other factors 
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, 
the results of which form the basis of making the judgements 
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not 
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on 
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are 
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the 
revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision 
and future periods if the revision affects both current and 
future periods.

As at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity had net current 
assets of $7.4 million. 

Additionally, in accordance with the stapling agreement 
between the Company (GLHK), Goodman Limited (GL) and 
Goodman Funds Management Limited as responsible entity 
for Goodman Industrial Trust (GIT), on request, each party (and 
its subsidiaries) must provide financial support to the other 
party (and its subsidiaries). The financial support to the other 
party (and its subsidiaries) may include:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Lending money or providing financial accommodation

 Guaranteeing any loan or other financing facility including 
providing any security

 Entering into any covenant, undertaking, restraint, negative 
pledge on the obtaining of any financial accommodation 
or the provision of any guarantee or security in connection 
with any financial accommodation

 Entering into any joint borrowing or joint financial 
accommodation and providing any guarantee, security, 
indemnities and undertakings in connection with the 
relevant joint borrowing or joint financial accommodation.

A party need not do anything under the above arrangements 
to the extent that the party considers that it is not in the 
interests of Goodman Group Securityholders as a whole, or 
would cause a member of the party’s group to contravene or 
breach applicable laws or particular finance arrangements.

On the basis of the above, the consolidated financial 
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(c) Accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as 
transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity 
holders and therefore no gain or loss and no goodwill is 
recognised as a result of such transactions.

(d) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of 
each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using 
the currency of the primary economic environment in which 
the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated 
financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which 
is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

152

Annual Report 2021

Transactions 

Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity’s 
functional currency at rates approximating the foreign 
exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. 
Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at the 
reporting date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling 
on that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in 
profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms 
of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable 
at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items 
which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair 
value was determined.

Translation of controlled foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated 
into Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates applicable at 
the reporting date.

Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average 
rates for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on 
translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation 
reserve until the disposal or partial disposal of the operations. 

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part 
of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in 
the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.

(e) Changes in accounting policies

The AASB has issued new or amendments to standards 
that are first effective from 1 July 2020 but none of these 
have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial 
statements.

(f) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

The Consolidated Entity has not applied any new standard 
or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current 
accounting period. None of the new accounting standards or 
interpretations is expected to have a significant impact on the 
future results of the Consolidated Entity.

(g)  Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation 

of the consolidated financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires 
estimates and assumptions concerning the application 
of accounting policies and the future to be made by the 
Consolidated Entity. Estimates are continually evaluated and 
are based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstances. 

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk 
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next financial year can be found 
in the following notes:

+ 

+ 

 Note 6 – Property assets

 Note 14 – Financial risk management.

The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised 
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future 
periods affected.

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies and 
disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both 
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the 
Consolidated Entity uses market observable data as far as 
possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a 
fair value hierarchy and have been defined as follows:

+ 

+ 

 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities

 Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within 
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

+ 

 Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based 
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring 
fair values is included in the following notes:

+  Note 6 – Property assets

+  Note 14 – Financial risk management.

RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
2. Profit before interest and income tax

Gross property income

Gross property income comprises rental income under operating 
leases (net of incentives provided) and amounts billed to 
customers for outgoings (e.g. rates, levies, cleaning, security, etc.). 
Amounts billed to customers for outgoings are a cost recovery for 
the Consolidated Entity and are recognised once the expense has 
been incurred. The expense is included in property expenses.

Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where operating 
lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed increases in 
rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. This asset is a 
component of the relevant investment property carrying amount. 
The cost of lease incentives provided to customers is amortised 
on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as a reduction of 
gross property income.

Management and development income

The revenue from management and development activities is 
measured based on the consideration specified in a contract  
with a customer. The Consolidated Entity recognises revenue 
when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

Management income

Fee income derived from management services relates to 
investment management base fees and property services fees 
and is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services are 
provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly or 
quarterly in arrears. 

Performance related management income generally relates 
to portfolio performance fee income, which is recognised 
progressively as the services are provided but only when the 
income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not 
being reversed. These portfolio performance fees are typically 
dependent on the overall returns of a Partnership relative to 
an agreed benchmark return, assessed over the life of the 
Partnership, which can vary from one year to seven years. The 
returns are impacted by operational factors such as the quality 
and location of the portfolio, active property management, 
rental income rates and development activity but can also be 
significantly affected by changes in global and local economic 
conditions. Accordingly, portfolio performance fee revenue is 
only recognised towards the end of the relevant assessment 
period, as prior to this revenue recognition is not considered to 
be sufficiently certain.

In determining the amount of revenue that can be reliably 
measured, management prepares a sensitivity analysis to 
understand the impact of changes in asset valuations on 
the potential performance fee at the assessment date. The 
assessment of revenue will depend on the prevailing market 
conditions at the reporting date relative to long-term averages 
and also the length of time until the assessment date e.g. the 
longer the time period to assessment date, the greater the impact 

of the sensitivity analysis. The potential portfolio performance 
fee revenue is then recognised based on the length of time from 
the start of the assessment period to the reporting date as a 
proportion of the total assessment period. Where the income is 
attributable to development activities or it relates to a combination 
of inextricable management and development activities that have 
occurred over the performance fee period, then it is reported 
as development income, otherwise the income is reported as 
management income. The Partnerships make payments in respect 
of portfolio performances fees at the end of the performance 
periods, once the attainment of the conditions has been verified 
and the amount of the fee has been agreed by all parties.

Development income – disposal of inventories

The disposal of inventories is recognised at the point in time 
when control over the property asset is transferred to the 
customer. This will generally occur on transfer of legal title and 
payment in full by the customer. The gain or loss on disposal of 
inventories is calculated as the difference between the carrying 
amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds on 
disposal (less transaction costs) and is included in profit or loss in 
the period of disposal.

Development income – development management services

Fee income from development management services (including 
master-planning, development management and overall project 
management) is recognised progressively as the services are 
provided in proportion to the stage of completion by reference 
to costs. Payments are received in accordance with the 
achievement of agreed milestones over the development period. 
The development period can be up to 24 months for larger and 
more complex developments.

Performance related development income includes income 
associated with the returns from individual developments under 
the Consolidated Entity’s management and performance fee 
income that relates to development activity. Income in respect of 
individual developments is recognised by the Consolidated Entity 
on attainment of the performance related conditions, which is 
when the income can be reliably measured and is highly probable 
of not being reversed. These amounts are paid by the Partnership 
when the amounts have been measured and agreed. Income 
associated with development activities as part of a portfolio 
assessment is recognised on the same basis as outlined above in 
the management income section. 

Development income – fixed price development contracts

Certain development activities are assessed as being fixed 
price development contracts. This occurs when a signed 
contract exists, either prior to the commencement of or during 
the development phase, to acquire a development asset from 
the Consolidated Entity on completion. Revenue and expenses 
relating to these development contracts are recognised in 
profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the 
relevant contracts by reference to costs. The payments may 
be on completion of the development once legal title has been 
transferred. The development period can be up to 24 months for 
larger and more complex developments.

Annual Report 2021

Net (loss)/gain on disposal of investment properties

The disposal of an investment property is recognised at the point in time when control over the property has been transferred to 
the purchaser. 

Employee benefits

Wages, salaries and annual leave

Wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date, represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to the reporting date. These are calculated 
at undiscounted amounts based on rates that are expected to be paid as at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as 
workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Bonuses

A liability is recognised in other payables and accruals for bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a 
past practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for bonuses that are expected to be settled within 12 months 
are measured at the amounts expected to be paid, including related on-costs, when they are settled. 

Defined contribution retirement plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Defined benefit retirement schemes

The net obligation in respect of defined benefit retirement schemes is recognised in the statement of financial position and 
is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current 
and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The calculation of defined benefit 
obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements of the net 
defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are 
recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit 
retirement schemes are recognised in the income statement.

Profit before interest and income tax has been arrived at after crediting/(charging) the following items:

Management services

Performance related income

Management income

Income from disposal of inventories

3. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated 
Entity that engages in business activities from which it may 
earn revenues and incur expenses. The Consolidated Entity 
reports the results and financial position of its operating 
segments based on the internal reports regularly reviewed 
by the Group Chief Executive Officer in order to assess each 
segment’s performance and to allocate resources to them.  

Operating segment information is reported on a geographic 
basis and the Consolidated Entity has determined that its 
operating segments are Asia (which consists of Greater China 
and Japan), Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. 

The activities and services undertaken by the operating 
segments include: 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Property investment, both through direct ownership 
and cornerstone investments in Partnerships

 Management activities, both investment and 
property management

 Development activities, including development of directly 
owned assets (predominantly disclosed as inventories) 
and management of development activities for the 
Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships.

The segment results that are reported to the Group Chief 
Executive Officer are based on profit before net finance 
expense and income tax expense, and also exclude non-
cash items such as fair value adjustments and impairments, 
corporate expenses and incentive based remuneration. 
The assets allocated to each operating segment relate 
to the properties, which also includes the investments in 
Partnerships, and the trade and other receivables associated 
with the operating activities, but excludes receivables from 
GL, GIT and their controlled entities, income tax receivables 
and corporate assets. The liabilities allocated to each 
operating segment primarily relate to trade and other payables 
associated with the operating activities, but exclude payables 
to GL, GIT and their controlled entities, provision for dividends 
to Shareholders, income tax payables and corporate liabilities. 

The accounting policies used to report segment information 
are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated 
financial statements for the Consolidated Entity.

For the purpose of operating segment reporting, there are no 
material intersegment revenues and costs.

Information regarding the operations of each reportable 
segment is included on the following pages.

4. Income tax expense
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and 
movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current 
tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they 
relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or 
directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax 
are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in 
equity respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income 
for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in 
respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and 
taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets 
also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Apart 
from differences which arise on initial recognition of assets and 
liabilities, all deferred tax liabilities and all deferred tax assets, 
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on 
the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying 
amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are not discounted.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Classification of investment properties

Investment properties are classified as either properties under 
development or stabilised properties. Investment properties 
under development include land, new investment properties 
in the course of construction and investment properties that 
are being redeveloped. Stabilised investment properties 
are all investment properties not classified as being under 
development and would be completed properties that are 
leased or are available for lease to customers. 

For investment properties under development, the carrying 
values are reviewed by management at each reporting date 
to consider whether they reflect their fair values and at 
completion external valuations are obtained to determine the 
fair values.

For stabilised investment properties, independent valuations 
are obtained at least every three years to determine the fair 
values. At each reporting date between obtaining independent 
valuations, the carrying values are reviewed by management 
to ensure they reflect the fair values.

Deposits for investment properties

Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment 
properties that are incurred prior to obtaining legal title 
are recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the 
consolidated statement of financial position.

6. Property assets

(a)  Types of property assets

Investment in property assets includes both inventories and 
investment properties (including those under development), 
which may be held either directly or through investments 
in Partnerships.

Inventories

Inventories relate to land and property developments that are 
held for sale or development and sale in the normal course 
of business. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net 
realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value requires 
estimates and assumptions which are regularly evaluated and are 
based on historical experience and expectations of future events 
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Inventories are classified as non-current assets unless they are 
contracted to be sold within 12 months of the end of the reporting 
period, in which case they are classified as current assets.

Investment properties 

Investment properties comprise investment interests in land 
and buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental 
income and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties 
are carried at fair value. The calculation of fair value requires 
estimates and assumptions which are continually evaluated 
and are based on historical experience and expectations of 
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. Investment properties are not depreciated as 
they are subject to continual maintenance and regularly revalued 
on the basis described below. Changes in the fair value of 
investment properties are recognised directly in profit or loss.

Components of investment properties

Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) 
comprising investment properties are regarded as composite 
assets and are disclosed as such in the consolidated 
financial statements. 

Investment property carrying values include the costs of 
acquiring the assets and subsequent costs of development, 
including costs of all labour and materials used in 
construction, costs of managing the projects, holding costs 
and borrowing costs incurred during the development periods. 

Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and 
assets relating to fixed rental income increases in operating 
lease contracts are included within investment property 
values. Lease incentives are amortised over the term of the 
lease on a straight-line basis. Direct expenditure associated 
with leasing a property is also capitalised within investment 
property values and amortised over the term of the lease.

(c)   Estimates and assumptions in determining 

property carrying values

Inventories

For both inventories held directly and inventories held in 
Partnerships, external valuations are not performed but 
instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies 
supporting the land and property developments. The end 
values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based 
on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods 
and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the 
relevant market. If the feasibility study calculations indicate 
that the forecast cost of a completed development will exceed 
the net realisable value, then the inventories are impaired.

Stabilised investment properties

The fair value of stabilised investment properties is based on 
current prices in an active market for similar properties in the 
same location and condition and subject to similar lease and 
other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for 
which a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer 
and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper 
marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, 
prudently and without compulsion.

Approach to determination of fair value 

The approach to determination of fair value of investment 
properties is applied to both investment properties held 
directly and investment properties held in Partnerships.

Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates 
of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in 
property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy 
rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent 
and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into 
account. Valuations are either based on an external, independent 
valuation or on an internal valuation. 

External valuations are undertaken only where market 
segments were observed to be active. In making the 
determination of whether a market segment is active, the 
following characteristics are considered: 

 Function of the asset (distribution/warehouse 
or suburban office)

 Location of the asset (city, suburb or regional area)

  Carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely 
appeal to private (including syndicates), national and 
institutional investors)

Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets 
in the same or similar market segments. Information on all 
relevant recent sales is also analysed using the same criteria 
to provide a comparative set. Unless three or more sales are 
observed in an individual market segment (taken together with 
any comparable market segments as necessary), that market 
segment is considered inactive. 

Where a market segment is observed to be active, then 
external independent valuations are performed for stabilised 
investment properties where there has been more than a 25 
basis point movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has 
been a material change in tenancy profile (including changes in 
the creditworthiness of a significant customer that may have a 
material impact on the property valuation), and/or there has been 
significant capital expenditure, and/or there has been a change 
in use (or zoning) of the asset and/or it has been three years 
since the previous external independent valuation. For all other 
stabilised investment properties in an active market segment, an 
internal valuation is performed based on observable capitalisation 
rates and referenced to independent market data.

Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, no 
external, independent valuations are performed and internal 
valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow 
(DCF) calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 
10 year period. The key inputs considered for each individual 
calculation are rental growth rates, discount rates, market 
rental rates and letting up incentives. Discount rates are 
computed using the 10 year bond rate or equivalent in each 
jurisdiction plus increments to reflect country risk, tenant 
credit risk and industry risk. Where possible, the components 
of the discount rate are benchmarked to available market data. 

Market assessment

The investment market for industrial, logistics and warehousing 
properties has been strong during FY21. At 30 June 2021, the 
Board has been able to assess that all markets in which the 
Consolidated Entity operated were active and as a consequence, 
no adjustments have been made to the carrying values of the 
Consolidated Entity’s stabilised investment property portfolios on 
the basis of internally prepared discounted cash flow valuations.

The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional 
portfolios (including Partnerships) are set out in the table below:

Sensitivity analysis

The fair value measurement approach for directly held investment properties has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based 
on the inputs to the valuation method used (see note 1(g)). The stabilised investment property valuations are most sensitive to 
the following inputs:

+ 
+ 
+ 

 Capitalisation rates
 Market rents
  Level of incentives provided to customers and/or the amount of vacant time on expiry of a lease.

The impacts on the Consolidated Entity’s financial position that would arise from the changes in the above assumptions are 
set out in the table below. This illustrates the impacts on the Consolidated Entity in respect of both the directly held stabilised 
investment properties and its share of those stabilised investment properties held by Partnerships.

External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development, but instead valuations are 
determined using the feasibility studies supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies 
are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed 
in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location, size and 
current status of the development and is generally in a market range of 10% to 15%. This adjusted end value is then compared 
to the forecast cost of a completed development to determine whether there is an increase or decrease in value.

This practice of determining fair value by reference to the development feasibility is generally also applied for the Consolidated 
Entity’s investments in Partnerships. However, certain Partnerships do obtain independent valuations for investment properties 
under development each financial year.

(f) Investments accounted for using the equity method

Joint ventures

A joint venture (JV) is an arrangement (referred to by the Consolidated Entity as a Partnership) in which the Consolidated Entity 
is considered to have joint control for accounting purposes, whereby the Consolidated Entity has rights to the net assets of 
the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements, 
investments in JVs are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in JVs are carried at the lower of the equity 
accounted amount and recoverable amount. The Consolidated Entity’s share of the JVs’ net profit or loss is recognised in the 
consolidated profit or loss from the date the arrangement commences to the date the arrangement ceases. Movements in 
reserves are recognised directly in the consolidated reserves.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Unrealised gains arising from asset disposals with JVs, including those relating to contributions of non-monetary assets on 
establishment, are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest. Unrealised gains relating to JVs are eliminated 
against the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains unless they 
evidence an impairment of an asset.

GJDP undertakes property development activities, with completed developments sold at, or shortly after, completion depending 
on leasing status. The Consolidated Entity’s other Partnerships have a long-term remit to hold investment properties to earn 
rental income and for capital appreciation, although they will undertake developments when an appropriate opportunity arises.

 Shareholder loans have been provided by investors of GCLP in proportion to their ownership interest. The shareholder loans are interest free, unsecured and have 
no fixed terms of repayment. The shareholder loans are not expected to be repaid within 12 months from the end of the reporting period and the Directors consider 
the loans to form part of the Consolidated Entity’s investment in GCLP.

7. Receivables

Non-derivative financial assets

Impairment

Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s assets 
(except inventories, refer to note 6(d); and deferred tax 
assets, refer to note 4) are reviewed at each reporting date 
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. 
If such indication exists, the asset is written down to the 
recoverable amount. The impairment is recognised in profit or 
loss in the reporting period in which it occurs.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying 
amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its 
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in 
profit or loss, unless an asset has previously been revalued, 
in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal 
to the extent of that previous revaluation, with any excess 
recognised through profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating 
units are allocated to the carrying amount of any identified 
intangible asset and then to reduce the carrying amount of the 
other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Financial assets and contract assets

The Consolidated Entity recognises an impairment loss 
allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets 
measured at amortised cost and contract assets. Financial 
assets measured at amortised cost include cash and cash 
equivalents, trade receivables, amounts and loans due from 
related parties and other receivables.

Other financial assets measured at fair value are not subject to 
the ECL assessment. 

The Consolidated Entity initially recognises loans and 
receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. 
All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade 
date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial asset when 
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, 
or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows 
on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all 
the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are 
transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is 
created or retained by the Consolidated Entity is recognised 
as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount 
presented in the consolidated statement of financial position 
when, and only when, the Consolidated Entity has a legal right to 
offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or 
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or 
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus 
any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to 
initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less 
allowance for impairment of doubtful debts, except where 
the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties 
without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting 
would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated 
at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, 
amounts due from related parties and loans to related parties.

Amounts recoverable on development contracts

Amounts recoverable on development contracts arise 
when the Consolidated Entity contracts to sell a completed 
development asset either prior to or during the development 
phase. The receivables are stated at cost plus profit 
recognised to date less an allowance for foreseeable losses 
and less amounts already billed.

Operating assets and liabilities (continued) 
7 Receivables (continued)

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash 
shortfalls. In measuring ECLs, the Consolidated Entity takes into account information about past events, current conditions and 
forecasts of future economic conditions.

Impairment loss allowances for trade receivables, amounts due from related parties, other receivables and contract assets are 
measured at an amount equal to a lifetime ECL. Lifetime ECLs are losses that are expected to result from all possible default 
events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

The Consolidated Entity recognises an impairment loss allowance equal to the expected losses within 12 months after the 
reporting date on loans to related parties, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the loans since initial 
recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable mentioned above. All non-
current receivables of the Consolidated Entity are due within five years from the reporting date. There is no material difference between 
the carrying values and the fair values of receivables.

Trade receivables

No trade receivables were impaired at 30 June 2021 and 2020. There are no significant overdue trade receivables at 30 June 2021.

Other receivables

At 30 June 2021, none of the other receivables balance was overdue or impaired (2020: $nil). 

Amounts due from related parties

At 30 June 2021, none of the amounts due from related parties was overdue or impaired (2020: $nil). Amounts due from related 
parties are typically repayable within 30 days. The amounts due from related parties are unsecured.

Loans to related parties

Loans to related parties principally relate to loans to fellow subsidiaries of GL and GIT and loans to JVs. Refer to note 21(c) for 
details of loans to related parties. During the year, no impairment losses were recognised on loans to related parties (2020: $nil). 
The loans to related parties are unsecured.

8. Contract balances
Contract assets primarily comprise amounts recoverable from fixed price development contracts (disclosed net of any payments 
received on account) and accrued performance fee income where the Consolidated Entity assesses that the income can be 
reliably measured.

Contract liabilities primarily comprise deposits and other amounts received in advance for development contracts and rental guarantees. 

The following table provides an analysis of receivables from contracts with customers (excluding rental income receivables), contract

Transaction price allocated to the remaining contract obligations

The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Consolidated Entity’s existing 
contracts is $nil (2020: $14.3 million). 

In addition, the Consolidated Entity receives investment management, development management and property services fees under 
various contracts that it has with its Partnerships. These contracts are for varying lengths of time and are typically transacted on 
terms that are consistent with market practice. The revenues under these contracts are linked to the AUM, total development 
project costs or gross property income of the Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Consolidated Entity initially recognises debt securities 
issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are 
originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially 
on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes 
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial liability when 
the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount 
presented in the consolidated statement of financial position 
when, and only when, the Consolidated Entity has a legal right 
to offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis 
or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Consolidated Entity has classified non-derivative financial 
liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such 
financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus 
any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent 
to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Other financial liabilities comprise trade payables, other 
payables and accruals and contract and lease liabilities.

11. Leases

The Consolidated Entity leases office buildings, motor vehicles 
and office equipment. Certain investment properties and 
developments classified as inventories are also built on land 
held under leasehold interests. 

The Consolidated Entity recognises a right of use asset and 
a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right 
of use asset is initially measured at cost plus any direct costs 
incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying 
asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease 
incentives received. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of 
the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing 
rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at 
amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the 
effective interest method. The lease liability is remeasured 
when there is a change in future lease payments arising from 
a change in an index or rate, or there is a change arising from 
the reassessment of whether Goodman will be reasonably 
certain to exercise an extension or termination option. 

The right of use assets in respect of office buildings, motor 
vehicles and office equipment are depreciated using the 
straight-line method over the period of the lease. Right of 
use assets that meet the definition of investment property 
are carried at fair value in accordance with note 6(a). Ground 
leases of development land that are classified as inventories 
are not depreciated but are assessed at each reporting date 
for impairments to ensure they are recorded at the lower of 
cost and net realisable value.

Interest is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective 
interest rate method, and, if not received at the reporting date, 
is reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position 
as a receivable.

Finance expense

Expenditure incurred in obtaining debt finance is offset against 
the principal amount of the interest bearing liability to which 
it relates, and is recognised as a finance cost on an effective 
interest rate basis over the life of the facility or until the 
facility is significantly modified. Where a facility is significantly 
modified, any unamortised expenditure in relation to that 
facility and incremental expenditure incurred in modifying the 
facility are recognised as a finance cost in the financial year in 
which the significant modification occurs. 

Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as 
part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost 
of debt. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial 
time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance 
costs are expensed using the effective interest rate method.

13. Other financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially 
on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity become a 
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

The Consolidated Entity uses derivative financial instruments 
to hedge its economic exposure to foreign exchange and 
interest rate risks arising from operating, investing and 
financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the 
Consolidated Entity does not hold or issue derivative financial 
instruments for speculative trading purposes. 

The Consolidated Entity’s derivative financial instruments 
are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and 
accordingly movements in the fair value of derivative financial 
instruments are recognised in profit or loss. 

Investments in unlisted securities

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in unlisted 
securities are measured at fair value and changes therein are 
recognised as other comprehensive income and presented 
in the asset revaluation reserve in equity. Dividends are 
recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend 
clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the 
investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other 
comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or 
loss. When such an asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain 
or loss in equity is transferred to retained earnings.

Other financial assets

14. Financial risk management
The Consolidated Entity’s capital management and financial 
risk management processes are managed as part of the wider 
Goodman Group. There are established policies, documented 
in Goodman Group’s financial risk management (FRM) policy 
document, to ensure both the efficient use of capital and the 
appropriate management of the exposure to financial risk. 

Goodman Group’s treasury function is responsible for monitoring 
the day to day compliance with Goodman Group’s FRM 
policies and prepares reports for consideration by management 
committees and Goodman Group’s Board including:

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ 

 Cash flow projections over a period of at least 12 months 
to assess the level of cash and undrawn facilities, and 
headline gearing at each month end

 Debt maturity profile, to allow the Goodman Group to plan 
well in advance of maturing facilities

 Interest rate hedge profile over the next 10 years, to allow 
Goodman Group to manage the proportion of fixed and 
floating rate debt in accordance with its FRM policy

 Capital hedge position (by currency) and profile of expiring 
currency derivatives, to allow Goodman Group to manage its 
net investment hedging in accordance with its FRM policy.

Any significant investments or material changes to the finance 
facilities or FRM policies require approval by the Goodman 
Group Board.

The Consolidated Entity’s key financial risks are market risk 
(including foreign exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk 
and credit risk.

Foreign exchange risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to transactional foreign 
currency risk and net investment foreign currency risk through 
its investments in Hong Kong, Japan, China, Continental 
Europe and United Kingdom and also loans to related parties 
in North America. Foreign exchange risk represents the 
loss that would be recognised from adverse fluctuations in 
currency prices as a result of future commercial transactions, 
recognised assets and liabilities and, principally, net 
investments in foreign operations. 

Goodman Group manages foreign currency exposure on 
a consolidated basis. In managing foreign currency risks, 
Goodman Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term 
fluctuations on earnings and net assets. However, over the 
long term, permanent changes in foreign exchange will have 
an impact on both earnings and net assets. 

172

  
  
  
  
  
  
Annual Report 2021

Goodman Group’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency 
denominated assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same functional currency 
as the investments to form a natural economic hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as 
cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS) and forward exchange contracts (FEC).

As at 30 June 2021, a summary of the derivative financial instruments used to hedge the Consolidated Entity’s exposures arising 
from its investments in foreign operations is set out below:

Sensitivity analysis

Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% (2020: 5%) stronger against all other currencies, with all other 
variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders, excluding derivative mark to market and 
unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have decreased by $36.7 million (2020: $16.3 million). If the Australian dollar 
had been 5% (2020: 5%) weaker against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s 
profit attributable to Shareholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would 
have increased by $36.7 million (2020: $16.3 million).

Interest rate risk

Goodman Group adopts a policy that at all times interest rates on between 60% and 100% of the Group’s external borrowings and 
derivatives (by principal) are hedged for the next 12 months. The Consolidated Entity’s interest rate risk arises from floating interest rates 
on related party loans (receivable and payable) and from the floating interest rate legs of certain CCIRS. The Consolidated Entity does not 
hedge its interest rate exposure on related party loans but has entered into interest rate swaps (IRS) to manage certain cash flow risks 
associated with floating interest rates on its CCIRS.

As at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity’s fixed and floating rate exposure (by principal) arising from its derivative financial 
instruments is set out below:

As a result of the derivative financial instruments that existed at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity would have the following

bps per annum (2020: 100 bps per annum) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit 
attributable to Shareholders would have been $10.8 million lower/higher (2020: $11.5 million lower/higher).

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity’s 
objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund short-term working capital, capital expenditure, investment opportunities and dividends. 
Management seeks to achieve these objectives through the preparation of regular forecast cash flows to understand the application and 
use of funds and through the identification of future funding, primarily through loans from related parties in Goodman Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.

The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the Consolidated Entity which have been 
recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position, is the carrying amount (refer to note 7).

The Consolidated Entity has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all potential customers and is not materially exposed 
to any one customer. The Consolidated Entity evaluates all customers’ perceived credit risk. 

In relation to material bank deposits, the Consolidated Entity minimises credit risk by dealing with major financial institutions. 
The counterparty must have a long-term investment grade credit rating from a major rating agency. The amounts and other 
terms associated with bank deposits are formally reviewed monthly.

From time to time, the Consolidated Entity also makes loans to JVs, typically to fund development projects. In making its 
investment decisions, the Consolidated Entity will undertake a detailed assessment of the development feasibility and credit 
risks associated with the relevant counterparties.

During the current and prior year, credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, amounts and loans due from 
related parties and other receivables was not determined to be significant and no impairment losses were recognised.

The credit risks associated with derivative financial instruments are managed by: 

+ 

+ 

 Transacting with multiple derivatives counterparties that have a long-term investment grade credit rating

 Utilising International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with derivative counterparties in order to limit 
exposure to credit risk through netting of amounts receivable and amounts payable to individual counterparties (refer below) and

+ 

 Formal review of the mark to market position of derivative financial instruments by counterparty on a monthly basis.

Master netting off or similar agreements

Goodman Group enters into derivative transactions under ISDA master netting off agreements. Under these agreements, where 
certain credit events occur (such as a default), all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated and a single net 
termination value is payable in full and final settlement.

(d) Fair values of financial instruments

Except for derivative financial instruments and investments in unlisted securities which are carried at fair value, the Consolidated 
Entity’s financial instruments are carried at cost or amortised cost. The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s financial 
instruments carried at cost or amortised cost were not materially different from their fair values as at 30 June 2021 and 2020.

(ii)  Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 fair values

The Level 2 derivative financial instruments held by the Consolidated Entity consist of IRS, CCIRS and FEC. 

The fair values of derivatives are determined using generally accepted pricing models which discount estimated future cash 
flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and current market interest rates and/or foreign currency rates, adjusted 
for specific features of the instruments. 

The fair value measurement for investment in unlisted securities has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value. The following table 
shows the valuation technique used in measuring fair value as well as the significant unobservable inputs used:

Discounted cash flows: The valuation 
model was determined by discounting

The future cash flows were based on

and an appropriate discount rate.

1. 

 During the year, the Company issued 15,438,241 (2020: 14,531,241) shares to employees of Goodman Group under the Goodman Group Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). 

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per 
share at meetings of the Company. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

(b) Equity settled share based payment transactions

LTIP

Goodman Group’s share based payments primarily relate to performance rights awarded to employees under the LTIP. These 
performance rights entitle an employee to either acquire Goodman Group securities for $nil consideration (equity settled 
performance rights) or, in certain jurisdictions, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the securities (cash settled 
performance rights), subject to the vesting conditions having been satisfied. 

During the year, the movement in the number of equity settled and cash settled performance rights under the LTIP was as follows:

Annual Report 2021

Share based payments transactions 

The fair value of equity settled performance rights at the grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the employee 
compensation reserve over the period from the grant date to the vesting dates. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual 
number of performance rights for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met.  
The accumulated share based payments expense of performance rights which have vested or lapsed is transferred from 
the employee compensation reserve to retained earnings. 

The fair value of cash settled performance rights is also recognised as an expense but with a corresponding increase in liabilities 
over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and 
non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the vesting date 
based on the fair value of the rights.

The fair value of services received in return for performance rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the fair value 
of the performance rights granted. The fair value of the performance rights granted during the year was measured as follows:

+ 

+ 

 Operating earnings per security tranche: these rights were valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes 
model with a continuous dividend yield

 Relative total shareholder return tranche: these rights were valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each 
of the ASX 100 stocks and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value. 
The model uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co-variance.

The model inputs for performance rights, both equity and cash settled, awarded during the current financial year included the following:

Fair value at measurement date ($)
Security price ($)
Exercise price ($)
Expected volatility (%)
Rights' expected weighted average life (years)
Dividend/distribution yield per annum (%)
Average risk free rate of interest per annum (%)

Share based payment expense included in profit or loss was as follows:

 The common control reserve arises from the acquisition of entities from other members of Goodman Group under the pooling of interest method. The amount in the common 
control reserve reflects the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of acquisition.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the 
entity. When assessing whether the Company has power, only substantive rights (held by the Company and other parties) are 
considered.

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences 
until the date that control ceases. When an entity ceases to be controlled by the Company, it is accounted for as a disposal of 
the entire interest in the entity, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

In the Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses.

The following list contains only the particulars of subsidiaries which principally affected the results, assets or liabilities of the 
Consolidated Entity. The class of shares held is ordinary unless otherwise stated.

Combination of entities or businesses under common control

21.  Related party transactions

Where the Consolidated Entity acquires entities or businesses 
from other members of Goodman Group such that all of the 
combining entities (businesses) are ultimately controlled by 
Goodman Group Securityholders both before and after the 
combination, the Consolidated Entity applies the pooling of 
interests method.

At the date of the combination of entities under common 
control, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are 
reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments are made 
to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities 
that would otherwise be done under the acquisition method. 
The only goodwill that is recognised is any existing goodwill 
relating to either of the combining entities. Any difference 
between the consideration transferred and the equity 
“acquired” by the Consolidated Entity is reflected within equity 
(common control reserve).

Similar to the acquisition method, the results of the “acquired” 
entity are included only from the date control commenced. 
Comparatives are not restated to present the consolidated 
financial statements as if the entities had always been combined.
